The creators of the new Painkiller reminded us of the project in a fresh trailer. Anshar Studios presented the video at the Horror Game Awards Halloween Showcase.
The updated version of the shooter will be released on October 21, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In the trailer, the narration is led by a demon, and the presentation shows that the series is ready to return.
Players can expect a dark, fast, and brutal shooter with battles against hordes of demons. The main task is to stop the invasion of the fallen angel Azazel and save Earth. In addition to the single-player campaign, a co-op mode for three people will be available.
The trailer features classic Painkiller elements: gothic locations, dynamic battles, and a recognizable arsenal. But the developers have also added innovations: a tarot card system for upgrades, four unique characters (Ink, Void, Sol, and Roch), as well as Rogue Angel mode — a separate roguelike with procedural arenas and random rewards.
