Saber Interactive’s 3D Realms label and developer Anshar Studios have revealed that Painkiller, the modern reimagining of the classic action franchise featuring co-op gameplay, will launch this October! Pre-orders for the game’s Standard and Deluxe Editions are available today on digital storefronts, with the Standard Edition also available to pre-order on PlayStation and Xbox at physical retailers.
Go alone or play online with three friends. You’ve been sentenced for your transgressions against Heaven and now wander in purgatory, but the Voice of the Creator is giving you one chance to redeem yourself. Blast through hordes of demons in brutal, fast-paced combat with an array of infernal weapons. Battle across gruesome gothic environments to stop the fallen angel Azazel’s invasion of Earth and earn your salvation.
Key Features
- Purgatory Is Your Playground: Jump, hook, and dash across vast, spine-chilling biomes while fighting nightmarish enemies in bloody, fast-paced combat with a host of new and classic Painkiller weapons.
- Three-Player Online Co-op: Play online with up to two friends, exploring diverse locations, uncovering secrets, and facing off against terrifying enemies.
- Grotesque Terrors Await: Challenge various horrifying foes, from hordes of demons to titanic terrors like the monstrous children of Azazel – the Nephilim.
- Unleash The Pain: Use tarot cards to upgrade your abilities, rank up to expand your arsenal, and team up with other players to obliterate all foes.
