DreamCatcher Games and JoWooD Entertainment announce a February 25, 2011 release date for Painkiller - Redemption, also confirming our belief that this Painkiller expansion is a standalone release, and does not require Painkiller to play. The announcement also includes this new game overview:

The kingdom of heaven is threatened by a ruthless army from hell. Two champions, Daniel and Belial, who we already know as the two previous heroes of the series, combine their forces and join the never-ending battle between good and evil.

“It demands quite a bit of skill to confront the countless hordes of monsters – to vanquish them you can equip some really crazy weapons“, says Markus Reutner, International Product Marketing Manager at JoWooD. “We also have the right soundtrack for the fast-paced action because the atmosphere is particularly important when countless monsters attack you without mercy. An insiders' tip for Painkiller friends as well as for new fans!“
