The game was announced in late March at the Future Games Show: Spring Showcase 2024 for a release scheduled later this year. In the new Painkiller game, players will use these seven weapons to slay all sorts of demons and foes: Electrodriver: Barrage enemies with rapid-firing shurikens that bounce off hard surfaces. Stakegun: Hurls high-damage stakes that can impale foes from long-range. SMG: Unleashes loads of ammo in short, rapid-fire bursts. Handcannon: Decimate enemies from long range with deadly precision. Shotgun: Spits destructive pellets at short range that can damage and stagger multiple foes. Rocket Launcher: Discharges a rocket projectile with a devastating blast radius that can stagger even heavy enemies. Painkiller: a versatile weapon with a brutal melee attack that hooks onto enemies, shreds them to pieces, and refills your ammo. In this reboot, players must choose between four playable characters: Ink, Void, Sol, and Roch. Each comes with unique perks and boosts to energy, health, power, or damage. Tarot cards can be used to enhance character abilities and even combined with those of other players. Indeed, the addition of cooperative multiplayer is arguably the greatest change compared to the original. We'll have to wait and see if the game can retain its signature gameplay even when playing with others.
