Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival launches October 8, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam. The free Steam demo is already available, but its saves will not transfer to the full game.

The current Saber FAQ provides launch details. This guide contains no hands-on assessment or review score.

Platforms, single-player and offline play

Switch 2 is included in Saber’s current platform list. Nintendo’s UK listing separately confirms the October 8 date for that version.

Saber calls it a single-player first-person action horror survival game and says internet is not required to play. Store download and account requirements are separate questions.

The FAQ gives 50 GB as its minimum storage figure, but the current Steam PC requirements list 80 GB. For a Steam install, plan around the store’s 80 GB requirement; the FAQ figure is not a reliable universal download size.

Aidan, Sunny and the Genesis Configuration

The official game page follows Aidan’s attempt to rescue his girlfriend Sunny from the Labyrinth. The central puzzle box is the Genesis Configuration, which gives him abilities needed to confront the forces pursuing him.

The box’s powers work alongside Aidan’s arsenal of weapons, according to Saber. It is a survival tool as well as a story device.

What is in the free Steam demo?

The Steam demo, released September 17, contains the prologue and part of Episode 1. It introduces story characters and offers puzzle solving, crafting and combat before the full game’s broader systems.

Demo progress does not carry over. Treat the demo as a preview before starting a new full-game save.

Its listing also identifies it as a pre-release build. Bugs, performance and unfinished elements in that version should not be treated as a final technical verdict. The verified demo is for Steam; no console demo is confirmed in these sources.

Doug Bradley, playtime and post-launch plans

Saber’s announcement credits Doug Bradley as the voice of Pinhead. That establishes his voice role; it does not establish motion-capture participation.

Saber estimates around 8–12 hours for a playthrough. This is the publisher’s estimate, rather than a campaign length measured by Red Reactions.

On post-launch content, the current FAQ says there are no plans at this time. That does not rule out a later announcement.

Unlock timing and the official trailer

October 8 is confirmed, but the checked listings do not establish one shared worldwide unlock hour across all four platforms. Check the local store for the version you plan to play.

Saber Interactive’s official release-date trailer was published June 16, 2026. YouTube currently requires age verification, so the trailer opens on YouTube rather than appearing in an embedded player here.
