A free PS5 demo of Hellraiser: Resurrection is now available on the PlayStation Store, allowing players who haven't yet purchased the full game to try it out. The complete version launched on PS5 on October 8, 2026.
While set in the same universe as the Hellraiser films and Clive Barker's novella The Hellbound Heart, the game does not simply retell Frank's opening of the Lament Configuration and release of the Cenobites. Instead, it tells a new story. After couple Aidan and Sunny accidentally activate the puzzle box, Sunny is pulled into the realm of the Cenobites, prompting Aidan to embark on a journey to rescue her.
The game combines environmental puzzles, first-person shooting, melee combat, and stealth. Insider Gaming previewed the title before launch, giving it a 9/10 score, praising its dark and twisted story, well-paced rhythm, and Resident Evil-style weapon combat.
Hellraiser: Resurrection was also nominated for Game of the Year at the Horror Game Awards, with voting concluding after November 11, 2026. This free demo offers fans of the film, readers of the original novel, and those still on the fence about the full game a chance to directly experience its narrative direction and hybrid gameplay.
