Skewed and Reviewed have posted a video of the new game in action.

PCgamesn: People Can Fly and Astronauts founder Adrian Chmielarz created Painkiller, so I asked him what he thinks of the 2025 reboot.

Neither good enough to get into heaven nor bad enough to be damned to the inferno.
It's not bad, I enjoyed playing in the wee night hours this morning..
CCG writes - "If you’re a fan of the original Painkiller series, you may be disappointed with this entry. It’s a shame that the online community is pretty small. Chances are that you’ll be playing with more bots than players, and sadly the bots are not good at completing many of the objectives. While I enjoy the FPS aspects, I’m not a fan of all of the occult imagery and use of Tarot cards."
