<\/section>\n

If you\u2019ve seen anything of the upcoming survival horror game Hellraiser: Revival, then you\u2019ll know it isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. Full of bloody violence, gruesome gore, and BDSM-themed sex and nudity, it’s a true translation of the pain and pleasure film series, which, despite all of these extremities, has managed to secure an ESRB rating. <\/p>\n

Chief creative officer at Saber Interactive, Tim Willits, shared the news in a recent interview with IGN. \u201cI can say that we have our ESRB rating, which was great, and we had to take nothing out for that,\u201d he confirmed. <\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The fact that nothing had to be cut may come as a surprise to some. Of course, different ratings boards around the world weigh different aspects of mature games more than others. In the U.S. and Canada, the territories covered by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) are traditionally stricter when it comes to sexual content, something that Hellraiser: Revival certainly doesn\u2019t shy away from \u2014 its opening scene is an extended sequence of sadomasochism involving hooks and other sharp objects. So, it\u2019s somewhat impressive that the game has passed through with nothing needing to be taken out.<\/p>\n

As for other regions around the world, that\u2019s still very much work in progress for Saber. European ratings boards such as PEGI and the USK view graphic violence in a different way than America does, but are more liberal when it comes to the sexual side of things. Similarly, the Australian Classification Board is far stricter on games involving drug use, so it remains to be seen if just one version of Hellraiser: Revival will be able to be released globally, or if altered versions exist depending on where you live.<\/p>\n

‘Oh my God, I can’t believe they did that.\u2019 That’s the kind of emotion that we want to get out of people.<\/section>\n

It\u2019s something that Saber is exploring currently and feels confident about. \u201cWe’re working with all the other ratings groups now, and I think that we’re going to do really well,\u201d said Willits. \u201cIt’s all context. It all fits with the IP. It is an artwork, and it is a mature game for mature audiences. We’ve stayed within those lines, and we’ve been very successful at moving the game through all rating boards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Willits and the team are not shying from the graphic side of the game either. \u201cIt’s an active goal for the team. Yes. You can actually say that,\u201d Willits explained. \u201cBecause if you are familiar with the franchise, if you’re familiar with what Clive [Barker, Hellraiser creator] has done, it definitely pushes. And when we announced that we were making this, lots of people online were like, \u2018They better do it right, they better not make some \u2018whooshy\u2019 game that’s all censored.\u2019 So we’ve tried to embrace it as much as we can. I really hope that players, they’re kind of like, \u2018What’s around the next corner? What crazy stuff am I going to see next? Where is this going to go? Oh my God, I can’t believe they did that.\u2019 That’s the kind of emotions that we want to get out of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Last year, we heard from Willits that Saber intended to push its M Rating as far as it could<\/u><\/a> with the upcoming video game adaptation. In that interview with IGN, he said: \u201cWe are going to go as far as we possibly can, as far as the people that make rules will let us go.\u201d Well, it looks like that\u2019s exactly what the team has done, securing an ESRB rating long before we even know the game\u2019s release date. <\/p>\n

Having played a good chunk of Hellraiser: Revival at gamescom 2025, I can indeed confirm first-hand that the limits for what\u2019s allowed in a video game are being stretched by this blood-soaked pain and pleasure fest, where internal organs more often than not end up becoming external ones. You can read my full Hellraiser: Revival preview here, where I called it \u201cResident Evil for sickos<\/u><\/a>.\u201d I stand by it, even following some of the gory sights I\u2019ve seen in Capcom\u2019s latest, Resident Evil: Requiem<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
