hellboy web of wyrd

Hellboy Web of Wyrd is an upcoming third-person beat 'em up roguelike video game developed by British studio Upstream Arcade, and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment. The game is set to release for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on October 18, 2023.

Gameplay
Web of Wyrd is a third-person beat 'em up with elements from roguelike games. Hellboy can chain physical attacks with ranged attacks to create combos. Both Hellboy and other enemies in the game are protected by "Toughness", which is a recharging buffer that tempoarily shields them from permanent damage. If Hellboy takes too much damage, he can unleash a special attack named "Payback", allowing him to inflict devastating damage on nearby enemies. The players also need to investigate areas occasionally. In the game, Hellboy must venture to the "Butterfly House", which has doorways to a peculiar dimension known as "The Wyrd", to locate a BPRD agent who is missing in action. While the Butterfly House serves as a hub area for the player, levels in the game are procedurally generated.

Development
Hellboy Web of Wyrd is an original game based on Dark Horse Comics' titular comic series. It was revealed at The Game Awards 2022, and has a hand drawn style that replicates Mike Mignola's art. The team also collaborated closely with Mignola when working on the game's narrative. It is also one of Lance Reddick's final posthumous roles. The game is set to be released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on October 18, 2023.
