With its ESRB rating secured, Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have released a brand-new developer diary video today for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival. Once again featuring Doug Bradley, the legendary Pinhead himself, this new look at the game explores how the dev team is tapping into the series’ most primal elements to adapt the Hellraiser universe as a video game.
“The first time I worked on a video game was 30 years ago this year,” explains Bradley. “I spent a day in full makeup and costume. I did the day, and I never heard another word about it. And 30 years later, here we are.”
With an IP as large and as deep as Hellraiser, the development team had a wealth of lore to choose from between films, books, comics and more. But the real challenge for Boss Team Games was to recapture what made Hellraiser so uniquely gripping from the very beginning.
From story to gameplay to effects and more, the result is a chilling experience which gives players unbelievable powers that bridge our world with that of the Labyrinth and the Cenobites’ grand schemes.
Hellraiser: Revival will unleash its sights later this year for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
