With the delay for Painkiller comes the opportunity to hype the game up even more. And that’s what 3D Realms and developer Anshar Studios are doing, releasing a new trailer touting “Rogue Angel,” a new roguelike game mode that will be available in the game when it launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on October 21.
Separate from the main campaign, Rogue Angel takes players to a new realm of Purgatory, where you and your friends will advance through procedurally generated arenas, collect tarot cards, weapons, and items along the way, and take on epic bosses.
And just in case you missed it, the Standard and Deluxe Editions of Painkiller are available to pre-order now on digital storefronts, with the physical versions of the Standard Edition for PlayStation and Xbox also being available to pre-order at major retailers.
Both editions come with the “Iron Crusade” pre-order bonus skin pack, and physical pre-orders include the “Burnished Pride” weapons pack, which includes additional gold weapon skins. The Deluxe Edition includes the Season Pass, featuring the “Night Watch DLC” with four character and six weapon skins at launch, plus an assortment of weapon and character skins post-release.
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.
