Painkiller Reboot Delayed to October 21st
Fans eagerly awaiting the return of the classic first-person shooter series will have to wait just a little bit longer. Developer Anshar Studios has announced that the upcoming Painkiller reboot, previously scheduled for October 9th, will now launch on October 21st. This slight adjustment shifts the release date by less than two weeks.
According to the development team, the game 'needs a bit more time to complete the summoning ritual.' While the exact reasons for the delay haven't been fully detailed, this statement typically implies that Anshar Studios is taking the extra time for additional polish and refinement, aiming to deliver the best possible experience at launch.
This new Painkiller title marks the first entry in the beloved series in 12 years, making its release a significant event for long-time fans. The game plunges players into the role of a hero sent to Purgatory for past transgressions against Heaven. To earn his freedom, he must confront and defeat the fallen angel Azazel, who plans to unleash hordes of demons upon Earth.
The Painkiller reboot is set to release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Pre-orders are currently available for those who wish to secure their copy ahead of time. This short delay suggests a commitment from Anshar Studios to iron out any remaining issues, ensuring that when players finally step into Purgatory, the experience will be as intense and satisfying as expected.
