Saber Interactive has confirmed that Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, and it won’t arrive late. The Switch 2 version launches the same day as the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC releases, closing a gap that had been open since the game was first revealed in July 2025 for those three platforms only.
Quick answer: Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on October 8, 2026, alongside every other platform. Switch 2 pre-orders open closer to release; pre-orders on the other consoles and PC are already live.
Hellraiser: Revival release date and platforms
There is no staggered rollout here. Every version ships on the same Thursday, and the Switch 2 build is a full simultaneous launch rather than a later port.
| Platform | Release date | Pre-order status |
|---|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch 2 | October 8, 2026 | Opening soon |
| PlayStation 5 | October 8, 2026 | Live |
| Xbox Series X|S | October 8, 2026 | Live |
| PC (Steam) | October 8, 2026 | Live |
Steam Deck verification and support for other handheld PCs have not been confirmed by Saber Interactive.
Deluxe Edition contents and price
The Deluxe Edition costs $49.99 and bundles cosmetic gear with a set of digital extras. Nothing in it is a gameplay expansion, so the value depends on how much you want the weapon skins and the supplementary material.
| Item | Type |
|---|---|
| Nailer melee weapon | In-game weapon |
| Cenobite shotgun skin | Weapon skin |
| Punisher baseball bat skin | Weapon skin |
| Leviathan weapon charm | Cosmetic |
| ’80s horror movie filter | Visual option |
| Digital art book | Digital extra |
| “Bleeding Hearts” novella | Digital extra |
| Game soundtrack | Digital extra |
Multiple Collector’s Edition bundles are also sold through the official Hellraiser: Revival site if you want physical merchandise on top of the game.
Pre-order bonuses on every edition
Two cosmetics are attached to the pre-order itself, not to a specific tier. Whether you reserve the Standard or Deluxe Edition, both unlock at launch.
- Labyrinth Pistol Skin
- Martyr Sawblade Skin
Note: because Switch 2 pre-orders have not opened yet, the only way to secure these on Nintendo’s console is to wait for the eShop listing to go live.
ESRB rating: What the M 17+ classification covers
The Switch 2 version carries the same ESRB rating as the PS5 and Xbox Series builds: Mature 17+, with content descriptors for Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, and Use of Drugs. The development team has said openly that it set out to earn that rating rather than soften the source material.
Concretely, that means first-person combat with knives, machetes, baseball bats, and pistols against cultists and demonic creatures, backed by heavy blood-splatter effects. Torture sequences show the player character impaled with knives and nails, and cutscenes depict flaying and disembowelment. There are partially nude sex scenes, a sex club level, and a section where the player character consumes pills and injects drugs from a first-person view. The word “f**k” appears in dialogue.
We’re trying to portray all the gore and horror that is present in the films, violence, sexuality, everything.
Story setup, Pinhead, and the Cenobites you’ll face
Revival is a story-driven, single-player survival horror action game, not a live-service or asymmetrical multiplayer title. It plays in first person, mixing combat with stealth elements and puzzle-solving, and it is positioned as a new canonical chapter rather than an adaptation of any existing film.
You play as Aidan Lynch, a biker gang member who finds a puzzle box called the Genesis Configuration with his girlfriend Sunny. Opening it summons the Cenobites, and Pinhead offers to take Sunny to Hell. She accepts. Aidan follows her into the Labyrinth to get her back, fighting through the Cenobites’ realm and the Scarlet Church cult that worships them. The action moves back and forth between the real world and that dimension, and the box’s own abilities can be combined with conventional weapons in combat.
Doug Bradley returns as Pinhead, the role he played across the first eight films before stepping away roughly two decades ago. Familiar Cenobites including Butterball, Chatterer, and Deepthroat appear alongside him, plus new additions such as the sadistic artist Bruno. Clive Barker helped shape the story directly, and Saber has described it as the first true Hellraiser game after nearly four decades without one.
For Switch 2 owners, the practical takeaway is simple: mark October 8 and watch for the eShop pre-order listing, since that is the only route to the Labyrinth Pistol and Martyr Sawblade skins on Nintendo hardware.
