Hellraiser: Revival Update 1.2 Adds Frame Generation and Fixes Progression Bugs

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival update 1.2 is now available, introducing support for FSR, DLSS and XeSS frame generation alongside numerous gameplay improvements and bug fixes. The update also adds an option to import demo save data when starting the full game for the first time. Enemy behaviour has been adjusted, with Cultists now detecting takedowns more consistently and sliding producing noise that enemies can hear.

The patch also addresses several progression-blocking issues involving Bruno, Charlotte, the Chatterer and the Labyrinth. Additional fixes target combat, inventory management, controller inputs, visual glitches and audio problems. Performance improvements include fixes for persistent frame drops during Cultist encounters and input lag when using VSync.
