Once again, October is going to be loaded for gamers. 3D Realms and developer Anshar Studios are adding to the mix with Painkiller, which will launch October 9 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders for the game’s Standard and Deluxe Editions are available today, with the Standard Edition also available to pre-order on PlayStation and Xbox at physical retailers. Accompanying the announcement is a brand-new pre-order trailer, which provides fans a fresh look at the carnage that awaits them.
The Standard Edition of Painkiller is available to pre-order digitally today for $39.99 USD, and includes the “Iron Crusade” skin pack as a pre-order bonus, featuring skins for all four characters – Ink, Void, Sol, and Roch – along with skins for six weapons: the Electrodriver, Stakegun, Shotgun, SMG, Hand Cannon and Rocket Launcher. Physical pre-orders of the Standard Edition on consoles will come with the retail-exclusive “Burnished Pride” weapons pack, which includes additional gold skins for those six weapons.
Meanwhile, the Deluxe Edition for Painkiller is also available to pre-order digitally today for $49.99 USD, and comes with the “Iron Crusade” pre-order bonus skin pack, as well as three additional post-launch DLCs, each including six weapon skins and four character skins.
Much like in the original game, Painkiller sees you trapped in Purgatory, sentenced for your transgressions against Heaven. But the Voice of the Creator gives you a chance to redeem yourself. As one of the Champions, you are to stop the fallen angel Azazel who is about to unleash his demonic armies onto Earth. You will face hordes of enemies, demons with unique powers and three monstrous children of Azazel – the Nephilim.
