Revival’ Game within the Works (Gaming Information)

A online game primarily based on Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser” franchise is in growth from Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games.

Titled “Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival,” the single-player, survival horror motion sport marks the first-ever online game primarily based on the horror collection. The sport will “put players face-to-face against the legendary Pinhead, with actor Doug Bradley returning to the role for the first time in nearly two decades.”

The “Hellraiser” sport will launch throughout PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC through Steam.

“Working on the first true ‘Hellraiser’ game has been a venture deep into the recesses of my darkest imaginings,” Barker mentioned. “The dedication that Saber and Boss Team Games have shown is nothing short of remarkable. They’ve immersed themselves in the ‘Hellraiser’ universe, capturing its essence—the seductive pull of suffering, the beauty within the grotesque—and forged a narrative that invites players to step beyond the threshold. I’m eager for both the curious and the damned to experience this new chapter in the ‘Hellraiser’ mythos, where every moment balances on the brink of nightmare and revelation.”

Saber Interactive CEO and co-founder Matthew Karch added: “‘Hellraiser’ is the quintessential horror franchise, and lends itself perfectly to a video game. Saber has had success with horror IPs in the past, and working alongside Clive to create tense gameplay and a new story that delves into the twisted depths of pain and pleasure has been a real treat. We look forward to opening up the gates of hell.”

LEGAL

“Fortnite” maker Epic Games released a statement Wednesday in response to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)’s new roadmaps assessing regulation for Apple’s App Store and Google’s Google Play Store.

“We can’t bring the Epic Games Store to iOS in the UK this year (if ever), and Fortnite’s return to iOS in the UK is now uncertain,” Epic mentioned Wednesday. “The CMA, the UK competition regulator, is choosing not to prioritize opening the mobile ecosystem to alternative app stores this year in the roadmaps for Apple and Google that were released today. This is a missed opportunity to introduce competition into a currently-monopolized market and unlock economic growth and consumer choice. Four years after concluding that the App Store and Google Play Store are parallel monopolies the CMA has done nothing to allow competing stores.”

Per Epic, “A free market requires multiple stores competing to offer consumers the best prices and services. If you don’t have competing stores, the one store that is a state-sanctioned monopoly will use its control to extract all the value from the market at the expense of all creators who cannot compete, and consumers who can’t choose the best deal among competing stores.”
