Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival
A new developer diary for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is here and it shows us how this is not going to be just a rehash of Hellraiser of the past
With so much lore to dig from to bring Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, it would have been easy to just to give us all a retelling of what we have seen over the past few decades. I am sure that has crossed the minds of everyone after seeing the original announcement. Thankfully, it looks as if Saber Interactive is making it truly known that it is not going to be the case. Sure, the game will have a few things to be expected to make it feel like it is a Hellraiser story, but in the latest developer diary we have for the game, it looks as if they are making sure it is going to sit on its own when it lands on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Just as we have seen with many of the movies, books, and graphic novels since it was first brought into our world. Let us have a look at how that is going to be here.
To start, yes, there will be a few things that we will see rehashed here from the Hellraiser IP. Like the fact that the team went out of their way to make sure all of the themes are brought in and the cenobites were recreated as perfectly as possible. Like down to the detail of figuring out what was part of the make and costumes and what was the performers in some of the older films, all so they can ensure things move and flow as they truly should. Then there is the puzzle box, which is going to look quite the same, but there are some extra lore and elements built into the configurations we are going to be able to place it in. This will be how we are controlling all of the supernatural things in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, but some of the configurations will be linked directly to the cenobites and not just in a way to summon them. I mean, when Doug Bradley is surprised by what they added and how he got to further bring Pinhead to life, that is saying something, and that is insanely exciting.
