Hellboy: Web of Wyrd Receives October Release Date

Although the character is iconic in his own right, Hellboy in recent time has little standing in video games than you would expect. Previously, the character did receive a position in the Injustice 2 post-launch roster. Additionally, the same can also be said for Blue Mammoth Games’ Brawlhalla as well.

At The Game Awards, it was revealed Upstream Arcade is working on a dedicated Hellboy title – Hellboy: Web of Wyrd. With the use of its cell-shaded graphics and powerful combat, it was shaping to be an authentic Hellboy experience. This week, it is revealed that Hellboy: Web of Wyrd will officially launch this October.

You can watch the release date trailer in the video below:

“Hellboy Web of Wyrd utilizes an art style faithful to Mike Mignola’s original masterpieces. Like in the comics, the game sends Hellboy on a series of vastly different and wholly-unique adventures; and while each story stands on its own, they are all tied to the mysterious legacy of The Butterfly House.”

The Steam page continues: “Built in 1962 by occultist Pasquale Deneveaux, The Butterfly House is more than a mere residence; it’s a gateway. Built upon occult ley-energies, its strange angles and non-Euclidean geometries were designed with a singular foul purpose in mind: to open doorways into a terrible and fascinating dimension called The Wyrd.

“Go toe-to-toe (or hoof-to-hoof) with a menagerie of nightmarish creatures and homunculi as you explore the realms within the Wyrd. Combat has been engineered to create challenging encounters that encourage you to learn patterns, dodge, parry, and – of course – punch your enemies into oblivion.”

Hellboy Web of Wyrd ships on October 4, 2023 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
