Dark and Twisted Red-Band Trailer For Clive Barker's HELLRAISER: REVIVAL Video Game — GeekTyrant
This single-player, horror action game takes players deep into the terrifying universe of the iconic franchise, and the first footage makes one thing clear, you're in for some serious bloody and gory torment.
The trailer teases the game's disturbing story and grotesque atmosphere, promising a world steeped in pain and obsession. Horror legend Doug Bradley returns as the infamous Pinhead, delivering the chilling presence that made him a genre icon. This new chapter looks like it crawled straight out of the darkest recesses of hell itself, and for longtime fans, it's an absolute treat.
The official synopsis sets the stage: 'Discover the tale of Aidan, who must unlock the dark powers of the Genesis Configuration, a mysterious puzzle box, to help his girlfriend from a hellish abyss.
'As Aidan, you'll harness the box's infernal abilities to survive your pact with the sinister Pinhead and battle against the twisted cult that worships him and the Cenobites. Fail, and your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell. We have such sights to show you...'
From what we've seen, Hellraiser: Revival is shaping up to deliver a truly hellish experience packed with gore, tension, and disturbing imagery that fans of the franchise have been craving.
The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. If the trailer is any indication, players should brace themselves for one of the most twisted horror experiences in recent memory.

The video game adaptation of cult classic Toxic Crusaders cartoon finally gets a release date
The streets of Tromaville, New Jersey are calling once again as the video game adaptation of the off-the-wall cartoon series Toxic Crusaders gets a release date. Seen in an official trailer from Retroware that was shown off during San Diego Comic-Con and shared online by IGN, the Toxic Crusaders game is releasing on December 4 on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Steam. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. As a true callback to the quirky cartoon from the '90s, the video game is designed as a side-scrolling beat 'em up, all packaged in a fitting pixel art style. In Toxic Crusaders , you can select up to seven characters from the series, each with their own unique movesets and abilities, and join together for up to four players in local co-op. For Toxic Crusaders fans wanting more after the original series ended without a second season, this adaptation picks up where things left off. You'll still run into some familiar faces, like the story's main villain, Dr. Killemoff and his two bumbling henchmen. For followers of the franchise, it's been a discouraging journey since Retroware first announced the adaptation for release in 2023. It's been delayed a couple of times, but the latest trailer finally offers a definitive date. If you can't wait until December, you can catch The Toxic Avenger film — which is a reboot of the original movie from 1984 that the Toxic Crusaders cartoon was adapted from — in theaters on August 29.

Itch.io is the latest marketplace to crack down on adult games
Indie video game marketplace announced this week that it has 'deindexed' adult and not-safe-for-work games, removing them from its browse and search pages. The move, the company said, was in response to a campaign by Collective Shout (an advocacy group that has previously criticized video games, rap music, and lingerie commercials) targeting both and Steam for selling 'No Mercy,' a game that depicts rape and incest. In an open letter addressed to executives at PayPal, Mastercard, Visa, and other payment processors, Collective Shout said that games 'endorsing men's sexualised abuse and torture of women and girls fly in the face of efforts to address violence against women.' 'We do not see how facilitating payment transactions and deriving financial benefit from these violent and unethical games, is consistent with your corporate values and mission statements,' the organization added. The campaign appears to have worked, with Steam saying earlier this month that it would ban games that 'may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam's payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers.' Similarly, said, 'To ensure that we can continue to operate and provide a marketplace for all developers, we must prioritize our relationship with our payment partners and take immediate steps towards compliance.' It also said that 'No Mercy' had been 'temporarily available on before being banned back in April,' and that 'the situation developed rapidly,' forcing the company to 'act urgently to protect the platform's core payment infrastructure,' without providing advanced notice to creators. The company said it's now conducting a 'comprehensive audit' to ensure that games available on the marketplace meet 'the requirements of our payment processors,' with adult content remaining deindexed until the audit is complete. After the audit, said NSFW game creators will be required to confirm that their content is allowed under the policies of their payment processors linked to their account. On social media, users criticizing decision noted that its current terms declare that adult content violations are 'permanent with no chance of appeal' and that any funds in an offending account 'will not be eligible for payout' — or as one developer put it, 'If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.' This is far from the first time that payment companies appear to have pressured online platforms over adult content — for example, last year Gumroad pointed to restrictions from payment processors when it implemented stricter rules around NSFW art, and OnlyFans also blamed 'banking partners and payment providers' when it banned explicit content (a decision that it subsequently reversed). A petition with more than 137,000 verified signatures criticizes Mastercard and Visa for their role in these types of decisions. Among other things, the petition demands that the payment companies 'stop censoring legal fictional content that complies with the law and platform standards' and 'reject influence from activist groups that promote moral panic or misrepresent fiction as harm.'
