A fully reimagined version of the original first-person shooter classic, Painkiller see players slugging it out through Purgatory against relentless demonic hordes with a boatload of destructive weaponry across sumptuously detailed Gothic environments. The game includes cooperative play for up to three players, including full offline support.

Four characters are up for grabs — Ink, Void, Sol, and Rock — each one offering various abilities that can be enhanced using tarot cards and combined with other players to help dispatch the demonic hordes. Speaking of which, players will face a diverse bestiary on their travels, from smaller fiends to hulking beasts.

Painkiller launches on October 9 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
