Mike Mignola, the original writer of the Hellboy comics, has also agreed to assist with the project. Which is the gaming subsidiary of Dark Horse Comics, the original Hellboy comics publisher. In fact, they are developing the game in collaboration with Dark Horse Games. Though Hellboy: Web of Wryd is being published by Upstream Arcade and created by Good Shepherd Entertainment, they are not undertaking the project alone.

And we can't think of anyone more perfect for the job than the team taking on the project. Finally, players are getting a dark and gritty game that brings them to the underground as the biggest bad boy in town.

That was until Dark Horse Games revealed Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, the studio's first release, at the 2022 Game Awards. However, the listing did show the upcoming title will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.Despite being a widely popular fictional character, who's amassed notoriety firstly via comics and thusly movies, Hellboy was yet to see a solid videogame based on his narrative. However, due to the series underperforming for the publisher, it doesn't seem particularly likely.Ī release date for Hellboy: Web of Wyrd has yet to be announced. The short-lived series followed the invincible Pitnor Weird, a fellow paranormal investigator that the United States was said to turn to when things got a bit, well, weird. While it has yet to be confirmed, Wyrd could be a reference to another Dark Horse series of the same name. However, despite his gruff appearance and grim origin story, the behemoth uses his supernatural powers to fight against dark and supernatural forces. In addition, Mignola has provided the game's key art, which looks nearly identical to his iconic comic style.Ĭreated for comics publisher Dark Horse Comics back in 1993, Hellboy follows a half-demon who was summoned to earth as a child. According to its press release, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd is a roguelite action-adventure that features an original story created by Mignola.
