Painkiller is coming back

Painkiller: Black Edition

Painkiller Black Edition includes the expansion pack Battle Out of Hell, featuring 10 additional single-player levels and many new villains.

Koch Media has announced a new publishing label called Prime Matter - and a new Painkiller game.

The Deep Silver parent company announced Prime Matter alongside a dozen games it's set to publish, including Payday 3 from Starbreeze and a real-time strategy Crossfire game from Hardspace: Shipbreaker and Homeworld 3 developer Blackbird Interactive.

The first Painkiller game was developed by Outriders studio People Can Fly and came out in 2004. Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, a partial remake of and sequel to the original, launched in 2012. We haven't had a new Painkiller since.
