The highly anticipated Painkiller revival, helmed by 3D Realms and Anshar Studios, has shifted its release window from October 9 to October 21, 2025. Accompanying this adjustment, developers unveiled fresh gameplay footage highlighting the title’s expanded features, suggesting the delay aims to refine its chaotic first-person experience.

Titled Rogue Angel, the latest preview spotlights an innovative roguelite addition—a departure from the core campaign. For the first time in the series, the main story will support three-player cooperative gameplay, complemented by this endless survival variant set in dynamic battlegrounds.

This mode plunges players into randomized purgatorial zones teeming with demonic adversaries. Combatants can unlock power enhancements between waves, tailoring their loadouts to withstand increasingly ferocious swarms across ever-shifting environments.

First revealed earlier this year, this reimagining revitalizes the iconic 2004 title originally crafted by People Can Fly. Players resume the role of tormented souls battling through celestial limbo, combining signature high-octane gunplay with modernized mechanics for current-gen platforms.

Beyond its apocalyptic aesthetic context, the remake doubles down on relentless demon-slaying mayhem. Enhanced replayability arrives via the roguelite component, promising fresh challenges with each labyrinthine incursion into the infernal unknown.
