Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival demo on Steam, release on 8 October 2026

• The game also got a new trailer titled Scarlet Church.
• The full release is planned for 8 October 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

What happened

Saber Interactive has released a playable demo for Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival on Steam. According to the report, the demo is available now and gives players a first look at the game’s basics. That includes combat, crafting, and puzzles, and progress from the demo will not carry over to the full game. The demo is tied to the new trailer and to the run-up to the planned October 2026 release.

At the same time, a new trailer titled Scarlet Church has been released. The update description says players can explore the shifting Labyrinth and encounter the Scarlet Church, which has taken possession of the Genesis Configuration. The trailer and the demo arrived on the same day, giving the game’s campaign both a playable sample and new video footage.

The full game is scheduled for 8 October 2026. The release has been announced for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are now open, with the standard edition priced at £35 and a Deluxe Edition at £45. Players who pre-order will receive an exclusive Labyrinth Pistol Skin and Martyr Sawblade Skin at launch. Two Collector's Editions have also been announced; these include the Deluxe bonuses plus additional licensed collectibles.

The available information also notes that the demo offers an initial introduction to the game, but is not meant to carry save data over to the full release. That positions Saber Interactive’s demo as a standalone trial alongside the pre-order campaign and the new Scarlet Church trailer.

Background

Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a game from Saber Interactive based on Clive Barker's Hellraiser franchise. This update links the demo and trailer directly to the planned October 2026 launch. The title of the new trailer, Scarlet Church, ties into the previously mentioned elements from the demo, including the Labyrinth and the Genesis Configuration.

The available information mentions multiple editions. Alongside the standard edition at £35 and the Deluxe Edition at £45, two Collector's Editions have been announced. The source only says these include additional licensed collectibles and carry over the Deluxe bonuses. No further content details are given for those Collector's Editions, and it is not stated whether the contents differ by platform.

The demo is reported to be playable via Steam and includes an early look at combat, crafting, and puzzles. Progress from the demo will not carry over to the full game. That makes the demo a separate release from the planned full version on 8 October 2026. The listed platforms for the full game are Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The included YouTube video from Saber Interactive carries the same trailer name, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival - Scarlet Church Trailer, and its description repeats that a new playable demo is available on Steam ahead of the full launch on 8 October. The video therefore supports the timing of the update, but adds no extra details beyond what is already mentioned in the report.
