If you ever wondered what it would look like if the visceral melee combat of Dead Island and the badass spellcasting of Skyrim was thrown into a medieval fantasy world filled with demons and monsters that need slaying, Hellraid is basically that. Back in April, Techland revealed they had decided to eschew a release on last-gen consoles in favor of bringing their dungeon hack ‘n slash game to current-gen consoles.
The move meant the game would be rebuilt from the ground up to make full use of the new consoles. It also meant it’d look and play better, so few people complained when they announced a 2015 release, rather than its initial fall 2014 window.
As we can see in the video below, this game has benefited greatly from that decision.
Hellraid releases on Steam Early Access later this year, with the retail version hitting PC, PS4 and Xbox One in early 2015.
