Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games released the Genesis Configuration trailer for the upcoming game Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival on YouTube [1, 2, 3].
The release provides a first look at the Genesis Configuration feature, a core element of the game's mechanics. As a revival of the Clive Barker franchise, the project aims to translate the surrealist horror of the original source material into an interactive experience.
The trailer was uploaded to the official YouTube platform to promote the title and showcase its visual direction [3]. While the footage focuses on the Genesis Configuration, there is some discrepancy regarding the nature of the video. One report described the footage as an official story trailer, while another identified it as the first gameplay trailer [2].
Saber Interactive is handling the publishing and development alongside Boss Team Games [1]. The collaboration brings together a studio known for large-scale technical execution and a team focused on specific gameplay innovations. The trailer emphasizes the atmospheric tension, and the specific puzzle-like elements associated with the Hellraiser mythos [1].
Because the trailer focuses on the configuration aspect, it suggests a heavy emphasis on environmental interaction and strategic manipulation. The footage serves as the primary marketing tool to build anticipation for the title's eventual release [1, 2].

The introduction of the Genesis Configuration suggests that the game will lean heavily into the complex, mechanical horror elements of the Hellraiser universe rather than relying solely on combat. By positioning this as a key feature, the developers are signaling a focus on puzzle-solving and environmental manipulation as central gameplay pillars.
