Bloody Disgusting on May 20 shared a new gameplay look at *Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival*, a survival horror action game from Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive. The post on X pointed readers to the “Genesis Configuration” trailer, which shows the puzzle box functioning as both a combat tool and a navigation device in the game’s version of the Labyrinth. (bloody-disgusting.com) Saber Interactive’s official game page says players control Aidan, who uses the Genesis Configuration in an attempt to help his girlfriend Sunny escape the Labyrinth. (ign.com) IGN’s trailer posting and Gematsu’s report both describe the new footage as a closer look at how that device works moment to moment. (saber.games) ### What exactly did the new trailer show? IGN’s trailer description says the Genesis Configuration helps with “puzzle solving and exploration,” letting players “bend the nightmarish Labyrinth to your will.” The same description says it also opens up combat options, including telekinesis, pyrokinesis and summoned hellchains. Bloody Disgusting said the trailer focuses on the player “wielding the power of Hell” through the Genesis Configuration. (bloody-disgusting.com) Its write-up said the footage includes combat encounters, executions and a mechanic labeled “Suffering,” which appears on screen as the player fights enemies in close quarters and across industrial, flesh-lined environments. (saber.games) ### How does the Genesis Configuration fit into the Hellraiser setup? Gematsu on May 20 described the Genesis Configuration as a tool for “both combat and puzzle-solving.” IGN separately framed it as a gameplay reinterpretation of the puzzle-box mythology associated with *Hellraiser*, with the device used to access and manipulate the Cenobite-linked dimension. (ign.com) Saber’s official site says the Genesis Configuration is central to Aidan’s story and to movement through the Labyrinth. That makes the box more than a lore object in this game; it is presented in official materials as the main system tying exploration and combat together. ### Who is making the game, and what has been announced before? (bloody-disgusting.com) Boss Team Games and Saber Interactive are the companies named on Bloody Disgusting’s May 20 report about the trailer. Clive Barker’s official website previously said the game was announced on July 22, 2025 as a single-player title for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Clive Barker’s official site also says the announced premise centers on Aidan and Sunny, with the Genesis Configuration used to reach through the “otherworldly hellscape of the Labyrinth.” That language matches the setup now repeated on Saber’s current game page. (gematsu.com) ### Where can players watch it, and what comes next? (saber.games) Bloody Disgusting’s X post on May 20 carried the gameplay footage directly, and the same trailer was also posted through IGN and other games outlets the same day. A separate red-band trailer is linked from Saber’s official *Hellraiser: Revival* page. Saber’s website lists *Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival* as “coming soon” and says the game is planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. (bloody-disgusting.com) Gamereactor reported on May 20 that the game is expected in 2026, but no exact launch date appeared in the official materials tied to the new trailer.
