Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a roguelite action game announced in December 2022 that we thought looked pretty badass, although that was presumably at least in part because it stood in contrast to the horrid Hellboy game from 2000 that we called, among other things, a "sucking abyss." But now we've got a look at some actual gameplay and I have to admit that, yeah, it does indeed look pretty badass—and importantly, it also confirms that Lance Reddick, who died suddenly in March, remains in the game as the voice of the lead character.
I'm not really a Hellboy fan, but one of the things I find most intriguing about Web of Wyrd is the way it promises to emulate the original comics in both its visual style and storytelling. "The game sends Hellboy on a series of vastly different and wholly unique adventures," the Steam page says. "And while each story stands on its own, they are all tied to the mysterious legacy of The Butterfly House."
