August 23rd, 2023 – Cologne, Germany – GAMESCOM – Global video game publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment’s highly anticipated, action brawler videogame Hellboy Web of Wyrd, will unleash a howling good time when it lands on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on October 4. Based on series creator Mike Mignola’s Hellboy graphic novels published by Dark Horse Comics, the game features an original storyline crafted in collaboration with Mignola, as well as the renowned voice talents of Lance Reddick as Hellboy himself. Mignola has also designed the game’s unique key art.
Hellboy fans get a close-up seat with today’s launch date trailer as Hellboy hurls himself through a gateway into The Wyrd: a visually beautiful but unsettling world of brutal enemies, animated statues and almost unbeatable monsters – all hellbent on killing him. Seeking out the few friends you can find in The Wyrd, and glean whatever information you can before you go toe-to-hoof with monstrous challenges that threaten to keep Hellboy trapped forever:
Like the comics, Hellboy Web of Wyrd sends Hellboy on a series of vastly different and wholly unique adventures; all tied to the mysterious legacy of The Butterfly House. When an agent of the B.P.R.D. is sent on a reconnaissance mission to the mansion and promptly goes missing, it’s up to you – Hellboy – and your team of Bureau agents to find your missing colleague and uncover the secrets of The Butterfly House. Chain together hard-hitting melee and ranged attacks to fight a diverse array of increasingly nightmarish enemies in this incredible new entry in the Hellboy universe.
Hellboy Web of Wyrd is an original story created in partnership with Dark Horse Comics. Keep up to date on all things Hellboy Web of Wyrd and Good Shepherd by following them at @GoodShepherdEnt or www.goodshepherd.games.
