3D Realms and Anshar Studios unveiled Painkiller during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. Painkiller? Don't we already have a Painkiller game? We do. However, this Painkiller is an "intense new spin on the classic action-shooter." That is to say, it's a modern reimagining of the franchise.
Painkiller is expected to release in fall 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. The fast-paced action is enhanced with a "powerful metal soundtrack." Painkiller will be playable solo or in co-op.
Welcome to Purgatory! You’ve been sentenced for your transgressions against Heaven, but the Voice of the Creator is giving you one chance to redeem yourself. Wield an arsenal of infernal weapons, including nods to the original Painkiller plus totally new creations to discover. Blast your way through hordes of demons and titanic terrors - solo or in online co-op for up to three players - across gruesomely detailed gothic environments to stop the fallen angel Azazel’s invasion of Earth and earn your salvation.
