As Hellboy, players will embark on a roguelike journey through The Butterfly House in search of a disappeared B.P.R.D. agent. The game promises a blend of exploration and intense combat, pitting players against a variety of nightmarish creatures and homunculi. The gameplay requires players to engage in fierce toe-to-toe battles with these monsters, adding an exhilarating layer of action to the game's overall experience.
The new trailer offers a preview of the action-packed gameplay and features the voice of the late Lance Reddick as Hellboy. This role is one of Reddick's last before his unfortunate passing earlier this year. The trailer showcases Hellboy's journey through The Butterfly House, giving players a sense of the challenges and combat they will face in the game.
While the release date for Hellboy Web of Wyrd is yet to be announced, the game is confirmed to be "coming soon" to Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC. Based on the gameplay trailer, Hellboy fans and gamers alike can expect an action-packed, visually striking game that stays true to the original comic series' aesthetic and atmosphere.
