Clive Barker's Hellraiser began as a 1987 horror film about a puzzle box that opens a doorway to a realm of sadomasochistic demons known as Cenobites, led by the pale, pin-covered figure Pinhead. It spawned a long-running film franchise and comic books, and Barker, a British author and filmmaker, remains closely associated with the property's dark, body-horror aesthetic.
Saber Interactive is a video game studio best known for horror and action titles, and it is now bringing Hellraiser into games with a new title called Revival. Barker himself has been directly involved in shaping the story, which the developers say ties the game closely to the established lore of the films.
Video games based on well-known horror franchises are often watched closely both by long-time fans, who look for faithfulness to the source material, and by newcomers being introduced to the world for the first time. Releasing on multiple platforms at once, rather than staggering the launch, is also notable because it means a wider range of players can access the game from day one.
