Last month, Saber Interactive and Boss Team Games have locked in the release date for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, confirming that the new horror title will arrive this October. Now this week, a new trailer for the game has dropped, alongside a new free demo. 

Hellraiser: Revival is a first‑person action‑horror game set within a new chapter of the Hellraiser franchise. Players take on the role of Aidan, who must wield the powers of the Genesis Configuration puzzle box to help his girlfriend escape the Labyrinth. The game blends supernatural abilities with traditional combat as you bargain with Pinhead, battle Cenobite cultists and confront the infernal priests that rule the underworld.

The new trailer for the game gives us a new look at the Labyrinth and the twisted machinations within. If you want to try the game out for yourself before buying, then there is also a new demo available through Steam, giving instant access to a slice of the game.

Hellraiser: Revival officially launches on the 8th of October for PC, Xbox, PS5 and Switch 2.

Ever since the launch of the first Nioh game, Team Ninja have been on a roll, consistently releasing new quality entries across multiple different franchises on an almost annual basis. Despite only launching Nioh 3 earlier this year, the studio is already gearing up for its next big game – with Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember officially set to release in March of 2027.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog to make their announcement, the devs at Team Ninja / publisher Koei Tecmo confirmed that Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember will be arriving in just a few months' time; officially launching on the 4th of March 2027.

This comes as quite the surprise for a multitude of reasons: not only due to the fact that the game was just announced back in June, but also because Team Ninja’s most recent title – Nioh 3 – will be merely 13 months old by the time Wo Long 2 arrives.

In a practice which has become common for Team Ninja, those wanting to try the game out early can do so right now, with a limited-time Alpha Demo currently live across all applicable platforms.

Available until the 30th of September, players can check out “part of the Changban stage, utilizing Chinese martial arts that blend offense and defense, traversing the Three Kingdoms battlefield where demons run rampant, and engaging in combat with legendary heroes from history”. Those who do download and complete the demo before its removal will also be gifted the ‘Fledgling Phoenix Helmet’ once the full game launches.

Released back in 2023, the first Wo Long was met with solid reviews overall owing to its fun and engaging gameplay – mired somewhat by its relative lack of innovation and basic level design.

Since then however, Team Ninja have released Ninja Gaiden 4 and Nioh 3, continuing to hone their craft. With Wo Long 2 set to further refine the series’ gameplay while vastly expanding its explorable world, Wings of Ember could very well be the studio’s best game in years. We [WO]n't have to wait [LONG 2] find out.

This morning, Japanese developer and publisher CAPCOM surprisingly released a free Resident Evil Requiem demo on all platforms: PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Nintendo Switch 2. The demo allows players to play "part of the game’s early stages", according to CAPCOM. However, unlike recent demos for other games, the save data won't carry over to the full game for those users who choose to purchase it afterward. This means they'll have to retread those parts of the game they have already gone through in the Resident Evil Requiem demo. Resident Evil […]

Following the controversial reveal of NVIDIA DLSS 5 at GTC 2026, we have heard all sorts of reactions from both sides of the argument. However, in most cases, they were heavily skewed towards one side, either embracing or condemning the technology. Nobody really delved too much into what it would really take to make it viable from a game developer's standpoint. We've continued to reach out to various studios to gather their perspectives on this oft-neglected part of the DLSS 5 discourse. Today, on the release date of their debut game (Samson: A Tyndalston Story, of which you can read […]

The NVIDIA DLSS 5 reveal at GTC 2026 is now over ten days past, but footage and impressions are still trickling in from attendees. Earlier this week, PC World did a livestream where they showed footage captured off-screen (with a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 in D-Log, with Rec.709 LUT applied) after checking the various DLSS 5 demos available, including Avalanche Software's Hogwarts Legacy, Bethesda's Starfield and Oblivion Remastered, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows, and NVIDIA's own Zorah Tech demo crafted in Unreal Engine 5. PC World's Adam said he was able to freely toggle the technology on and off during the […]

Nobody, except for a very select few who had already checked out a demo, was expecting NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to unveil DLSS 5 during his GTC 2026 keynote last week. NVIDIA had already countered AMD's FSR Redstone at CES 2026, where it announced and released a second-generation transformer model for its Super Resolution upscaler, which adopted the DLSS 4.5 label and was quickly judged the best upscaler available. Two months later, they stunned the world - for better or worse - with a new version of DLSS that did not focus on improving frame rates or ray tracing performance, […]

Four days after the reveal of NVIDIA DLSS 5 at GTC 2026, we're still gathering reactions from the game development and modding community to the highly polarizing technology. Yesterday, we published some thoughts from RTGI author Pascal Gilcher. Today, we can share an exclusive comment from industry veteran Denis Dyack, as part of a much larger interview that will soon be published in its entirety on Wccftech. Dyack, known to gamers primarily as the creator of classics like Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, was quite critical of DLSS 5 as a whole while also noting […]

Following NVIDIA's reveal of DLSS 5 at GTC 2026 and Digital Foundry's coverage of the new technology, one of the early adopters, Bethesda Game Studios (which plans to add it to Starfield and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered), has commented directly on Digital Foundry's X post. The development team effectively addressed most of the criticism levied against DLSS 5 so far, clarifying that the demo is a "very early look", that the Bethesda artists will further adjust how it affects the game (since the technology is completely under their control) ahead of its public release, and critically, that it […]

Vampire Survivors blew up when the reverse-bullet-hell rogue-lite released back in 2022, spawning an entirely new sub-genre of ‘bullet-heavens’. Developed by the studio Poncle, the team are now set to tackle the dungeon-crawling card-battler scene, with Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard now receiving an official demo ahead of its launch later this year.

Vampire Crawlers is a spin-off of the highly-popular Vampire Survivors. Set to release some time in early-mid 2026, this new take on the formula sees many familiar elements from Survivors being adapted to fit the upcoming first-person dungeon-crawling deckbuilder.

Seemingly featuring a similar level of buildcrafting, Vampire Crawlers looks to be a highly fun and addictive title which may very well spawn its own set of inspirations – bringing the dungeon crawling genre back into the limelight.

Regardless of whether this is the direction you were hoping to see Poncle head in, both fans and sceptics alike can try out ‘Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors’ right now thanks to a free demo.

Vampire Survivors is genuinely one of the most impactful indie games released in quite some time, and so it will be interesting to see how the industry responds to the team at Poncle’s next big project.
