Saber Interactive has released a 14-minute [1] gameplay video for Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, a first-person survival horror title.
The footage provides a detailed look at the game's combat systems and boss encounters before its commercial launch. For fans of the franchise, this preview establishes the visual tone and mechanical depth of the experience.
The exclusive video highlights the Genesis Configuration, a central gameplay mechanic that players will navigate throughout the story [3]. The footage also demonstrates the game's focus on gore and atmospheric tension. An IGN author said the ultraviolent game still looks disgusting [4].
This project marks a significant entry for Saber Interactive in the horror genre. The game was previously showcased at Gamescom 2025 [3], where it drew comparisons to other survival horror titles. A GameSpot author said the game felt like Condemned meets Resident Evil Village [3].
Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is scheduled to launch on Oct. 8, 2026 [1, 3]. The title will be available on PlayStation 5, PC via Steam, and Xbox Series X|S [1, 4].
The gameplay focuses on the struggle for survival against grotesque entities. A Dread Central author said the puzzle box will not ask your desires, but only unravel the experience [2].
“The game still looks disgusting.”
The release of extended gameplay footage suggests Saber Interactive is moving into a final marketing push to establish the game's identity as a 'hardcore' survival horror experience. By emphasizing the Genesis Configuration and high-fidelity gore, the developers are targeting a niche audience that values atmospheric dread and visceral combat over traditional action-horror.
