Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival Hands-On: A Beautifully Twisted Descent Into Hell September 1st, 2026 at 12:00 pm by Celine Kroter

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival doesn’t hold back when bringing the iconic horror franchise into the world of video games. At Gamescom 2026, we had the opportunity to play a section from later in the game. Our time with it showed just how much Saber Interactive is embracing the disturbing imagery and psychological horror of Hellraiser.

Rather than simply adapting one of the movies, Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival tells a new story within the Hellraiser canon. Players take control of Aidan Lynch, who finds himself caught between the Cenobites and the Scarlet Church while desperately trying to save his girlfriend, Sunny.

Central to his journey is the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box that plays an important role in the story while also granting Aidan supernatural abilities.

During the Find Your Next Game (FYNG) showcase at Gamescom 2026, Italian indie studio 906 Games and publisher Big Blue Sky Games revealed Cutout, their upcoming side-scrolling action-horror adventure set in a grim fairy tale world handcrafted from cardboard, paper, fire, and shadow. (...)

Cutout tells the story of Lena, the forsaken child of a dying forest. Longing for an acceptance she never received from the people of her village, she embarks on a quest to recover a powerful scepter that grants its wielder total dominion over the land and its people.

The game takes players on a psychological terror ride where you play as a 9-year-old in your childhood home. Every night at 3 AM, when everyone is asleep, the child wakes up due to an otherworldly pull that instructs him to move through the dark. No one is supposed to know your secrets, not even your family, and you have to face them alone.

Film is expensive, play video games instead.

I imagine the unknown horrors will be the big one to avoid here.

This is giving me déjà vu.

The Rely team is excited to have participated in interviewing Max Verehin, CEO of Team Clout, developers of the gory horror thriller 'ILL.'

Many years ago, Suzy Eddie Izzard did a stand-up routine about different makes of vacuum cleaner, including the immortal "Hodededededer" of undecided linguistic origin. Izzard also enjoys sending up cheesy horror movies. Now that I've played 7 Nights with Vroombi, which launches today on Steam, I'd love to see Izzard do a sketch about a robot vacuum cleaner stuck in a haunted house. Because that is what 7 Nights with Vroombi is about. (...)

Ill's extreme gore-horror actually draws inspiration from Half-Life 2's Ravenholm: "We are doing our best to achieve that exact same effect, but with modern standards."
