Saber Interactive appears like it would as soon as once more be moving into the horror style as a brand new teaser closely implies a Hellraiser recreation will likely be introduced on July 22.
The corporate posted a teaser video which exhibits an outdated CRT TV surrounded by candles in the midst of a room. The footage is grainy and infrequently interrupted by raster traces. Within the background, chains may be heard rattling, somebody is screaming in ache and there’s a bell that sounds suspiciously just like the one heard when Hellraiser’s iconic Pinhead is summoned.
They also posted a link to a website titled www.july-22-2025.com which shows a time: 01:00 UTC.
On the web site, there’s additionally one other robust trace towards Hellraiser when a brick wall with the road signal “55” briefly seems. That’s the variety of Cotton Home from the unique Hellraiser film, the identical location through which the Lament Configuration was solved and Pinhead was summoned in all of his BDSM glory.
There’s additionally the truth that the rights to Hellraiser have been additionally pulled from Useless By Daylight in April, that means Pinhead can now not be bought as a playable character. Whereas there would technically be nothing stopping Hellraiser showing in DBD and being the main target of a complete different recreation, it’s potential the contract with DBD ended and the rights holder selected to not renew so that every one eyes could possibly be on the brand new Hellraiser recreation.
The reception to the tease to this point has been considerably combined, principally due to Saber Interactive’s historical past with different horror titles. Loads of individuals on social media have already posted their hope that this isn’t going to be one other multiplayer horror title, and level to Saber Interactive “abandoning” Evil Useless: The Sport after 6-months.
Nonetheless, a few of the on-line backlash is misplaced as followers appear to be accusing Saber of inflicting Pinhead to be faraway from Useless By Daylight. Saber Interactive, after all, don’t personal the Hellraiser license and don’t have any management over who will get to make use of the rights. At the moment, Clive Barker holds the rights to the unique film and characters. Outdoors of that, the rights to the franchise are extra sophisticated.
We do additionally know a powerful contender for the builders. Mad Head Video games is a Serbian developer underneath Saber Interactive, and in 2023, Power-Up interviewer Tahlia Norrish spoke to Associate Game Director Marija Milivojevic. Within the closing assertion, the interview stated that “Mad Head Video games is already within the works on their second title, primarily based on a well-known horror movie IP.”
Since then, a number of job listings have additionally confirmed the corporate is engaged on no less than 2 tasks primarily based on current IP.
To my thoughts, that’s robust proof that Mad Head Video games is engaged on Hellraiser. But it surely goes with out saying that that is simply hypothesis on my half. Saber Interactive has numerous groups that could possibly be dealing with the challenge, and we’ll know for positive on July 22.
