Painkiller
More of the gameplay for Painkiller is here, with a look at the various creatures we will be shooting within Painkiller
I do hope that all of your normal demon hunting skills are up to date before Painkiller launches on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this coming October 21st. It looks like there is going to be all manner of high-intensity action in the mix from Anshar Studios and 3D Realms when it does come. Not only from us but all of our friends we can convince to head into Purgatory in Painkiller to blast all of these terrible things in the face out there. An interesting ask, sure, but one that I am sure will have many others looking at all of the fun and wanting to join in. As long as they like their shooter titles filled with demons and set in a world that feels pulled right from the realm of a heavy metal album.
While there is some new gameplay we have to look at here for Painkiller, there does not feel like there is much new to look at here. It feels more like a cheeky video to dig into some of the fun we can have out there, while showing us the weird demons, titans, and other things we are going to need to gun down in Purgatory. Even if that does not feel like the place we will be exploring in Painkiller anymore, as it looks and feels a lot more like Hell. This could be what is going on in the backend of it all, as more of the evils have been spilling out, and we are not only trying to escape, but maybe banish more back to where they came from. Either way, it does look as if the three of us playing the game will have some fun and dark weapons to use out there in the realm. Have a look at it all a little lower down and see how many horrors we will be facing here just ahead of the spooky night of the year.

Are you getting the same feeling about Painkiller as we are here, or do you think this is just a darker version of Purgatory we will be fighting in? How many of these titans and large abominations will we have to fight in the game, and will there be more than the handful we have seen so far? Will we be able to make it out of the game, or will we always be looped back in as the demons of Hell keep on pouring out there? Take to the comments and fire off all of those thoughts down there. We will certainly have more for Painkiller in the coming weeks, so please keep on coming back here and our channels to see and hear it all. It looks like it will be a massively fun time, and you will not want to miss out on any of it as it comes out there.
