Saber Interactive has confirmed that Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8, 2026, joining releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.
The announcement, accompanied by an age-restricted trailer, positions Revival as a multi-platform horror release tied directly to franchise creator Clive Barker.
Background and developer context
Saber Interactive, the studio behind World War Z and SnowRunner, is developing Hellraiser: Revival in collaboration with Clive Barker, who co-wrote the game's story.
The project also marks the return of Doug Bradley, the actor who portrayed the iconic antagonist Pinhead in the first eight Hellraiser films.
These connections emphasize Revival's direct lineage to the original franchise material.
Gameplay and design
Saber Interactive describes Hellraiser: Revival as a blend of survival-horror and action gameplay.
The game uses a first-person perspective and incorporates stealth mechanics alongside more direct combat encounters.
Those features aim to combine atmospheric tension with more active gameplay moments, aligning Revival with contemporary survival-horror conventions while leveraging the franchise’s established aesthetic.
Deluxe Edition and pre-order details
Saber Interactive confirmed a Deluxe Edition priced at $49.99.
According to the studio, the Deluxe package bundles a set of in-game items and extras: a Nailer melee weapon, a Cenobite-themed shotgun skin, a Punisher baseball bat weapon skin, a Leviathan weapon charm, an '80s horror movie visual filter, a digital art book, the Bleeding Hearts digital novella, and the game's digital soundtrack.
Pre-orders for the Switch 2 version are expected to open soon, per the announcement.
Platforms, release timing and promotional material
Hellraiser: Revival’s release on October 8, 2026, is confirmed across major current-generation platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Why it matters
