"Hellraiser: Revival developer Saber Interactive is aiming to deliver a faithful adaptation of the cult-classic horror series, and the studio says it wants to earn its M rating when the single-player survival-horror game is eventually released. The source material--starting with Clive Barker's novel that the popular horror film series is based on--was already pretty extreme for its time, as it revolved around people unwittingly summoning the sadomasochistic Cenobites: explorers from another dimension who subject their victims to gruesome experiments."
""We're trying to portray all the gore and horror that is present in the films, violence, sexuality, everything," associate game director Aleksandra Pelivanović explained to GameSpot recently. "It was really important for us to catch every key element of the franchise and put it in the game in the right context. And when we sent Clive the final draft for the storyline, he was like, 'Yes, that's Hellraiser!'""
Saber Interactive is developing Hellraiser: Revival as a single-player survival-horror title that aims to faithfully adapt the franchise. The studio intends to earn an M rating and push gore, violence, and sexual content as far as rating rules allow. Clive Barker was consulted and approved the game's final storyline draft. Associate game director Aleksandra Pelivanović said the team aims to portray gore, horror, violence, and sexuality and include key franchise elements in proper context. The ESRB reserves M for realistic depictions of violence, blood, gore, sexual content, and strong language. The studio cited Mortal Kombat's explicit gore as a reference for pushing digital-violence boundaries.
