3D Realms and Anshar Studios have postponed their Painkiller revival from October 9 to October 21, 2025. The publishers released a new Rogue Angel trailer showcasing the game's roguelike mode alongside the delay announcement. This mode transports players to Purgatory through procedurally generated arenas where demon hordes await elimination. The campaign offers solo gameplay or three-player cooperative sessions for the first time in franchise history. Players receive enhanced upgrades to strengthen their battle capabilities against endless supernatural enemies.
The revival resurrects People Can Fly's original 2004 shooter with modern enhancements and additional content modes. Publishers first announced the project during March 2024 before revealing these expanded gameplay features. Players assume roles of condemned souls attempting escape from their Purgatory prison while seeking personal redemption. The fast-paced first-person shooter combines traditional demon-slaying action with contemporary roguelike elements. Anshar Studios designed the experience to deliver both nostalgic appeal and fresh mechanical innovations for series veterans and newcomers.
