We have a new look at the story coming in Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival and how love is at the core of any good Hellraiser story
It you have a look back at all of the films in the IP, they all do revolve around love in one way or another, and it looks as if Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is going to be following the same lines. Sure, they all might be a bit of a messed-up form of love, but Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive have a good understanding of what drives the desires of the human race, and that will be on display in the game. Not just the humans, but also the cenobites in the game, as they have always had a good understanding of pleasure and pain in the Hellraiser universe. Okay, that all might be a bit of a stretch, but with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we all needed a good way to get something out before the game launches on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
For those who can endure the pain of not jumping into the latest video for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival that we have, let us give a bit of context. This is another of the censored versions of the videos, with the glitches covering up things deemed “too spicy” for YouTube, even with an age-gate. It truly is not much, as the bulk of the video shows the budding relationship and love between Aidan and Sunny in the game. It looked like it was pure and filled with all of the trappings of a truly adult relationship in a modern age, until the puzzle box came into their lives. It looks as if Sunny is the first to crack it and is now seeing all of the sights the cenobites have to show her. Aidan does not want that to happen, so he sets forth into “Hell” to save his love and tries not to lose his mind along the way. See, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is truly going to be a love story, just with more blood, chains, and hooks. Then it would be a real love story… am I right…?
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival — Love Story
Love can be as sweet as it is bitter. Embrace your desires and face the darkness within. Let passion and pain intertwine, for true connection often lies in the depths.
Suffering, my Valentine…
A tale of passion, lust, and temptation — and the gruesome consequences that follow. As Aidan, you’ll descend into the darkest depths of the underworld on a journey to rescue your girlfriend, Sunny, from an eternal realm of torment at the hands of the depraved Cenobites within the Labyrinth.
Battle for your love in an unholy war against Hell’s most deviant wretches, cultists, and creatures with the infernal powers of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box and an arsenal of earthly weapons. But will you be able to hold onto your immortal soul against the malicious domination of Pinhead (voiced by series icon Doug Bradley)? Or will you succumb to your vices and suffer for eternity?
Have you always seen the Hellraiser franchise as one that is filled with love, or are there only a few twisted ones like us that see it that way? Why do you think Sunny is playing around with the puzzle box, and will it make better sense once we get into the thick of things in the game? Do you like that it looks like we are going to be using the puzzle box in various ways in the game, or did you think it was something else that would be giving us some of the crazy abilities in the game? Let us all discuss this and more in the comment section. We have been super excited to see where Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival goes as a game, even if the online censors have been making it difficult. Please join us on that journey on the websites, and follow along on all of our social channels to enjoy everything else that is out there for the game. The release for this one is not coming soon enough.
