JoWooD Productions and DreamCatcher Games have announced that Homegrown Games is developing Painkiller: Resurrection, the next chapter in the Painkiller brand set for release in Q4 2009. Once more, it is up to the protagonist to find a way out of a grotesque world between heaven and hell, trapped between life and death. The development of Painkiller: Resurrection is based on the technology of the Painkiller engine, but with several improvements, including improved shadows, a higher texture resolution, moveable light sources, post processing, motion blur and ambient occlusion were implemented. In addition to these added features, the PK++ development team, lead by Steven "Blowfish" Wilkins, has set up a coop-multiplayer campaign mode. The first three screenshots have been inserted in our gallery.
