“Hearing that a new Painkiller game would be coming out in 2025 was a surprise, primarily thanks to the fact that the franchise has been dormant for well over a decade despite receiving a number of sequels. It didnt help that, for the most part, many of these sequels were poorly received at the time, but that didnt stop 3D Realms and Anshar Studios from bringing this hellish shooter back to life. Or did they? Because it appears that something else got mixed into this revival ritual and has resurrected Painkiller as a shadow of its former self and transformed it into a raid based co-op shooter instead.”
