The Hellboy comic is popular in part due to Mike Mignola's unique shading style, creating large blacked-out sections on every page.

What stands out about Hellboy Web of Wyrd just from its announcement trailer is its great cell-shaded graphics. Suffice it to say, there are darker secrets hidden therein than Hellboy might expect. Hellboy will be delving into The Wyrd to find a missing B.P.R.D agent and uncover the secrets of The Butterfly House in the process. Hellboy will be exploring a strange building named The Butterfly House, through which there are many doorways leading to The Wyrd.

The story of Hellboy Web of Wyrd should help provide further context, though. Each adventure will perhaps be its own unique adventure experience. Details regarding its rogue-lite structure aren't available yet, but Hellboy's encounters will assumedly have some randomization element to them. First and foremost, it's an action-adventure game where players will brawl with supernatural enemies using Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom and his gun, the Good Samaritan. Hellboy Web of Wyrd looks to give the Hellboy franchise a fresh start, though.

Released in 20 respectively, the pair were both critically panned.

Hellboy has been the focus of two major game releases, Hellboy: Dogs of the Night and Hellboy: The Science of Evil. It may feel like it's been some time since the recent Hellboy film, but it truly has been a very long time since the release of the most recent Hellboy game. Hellboy continues to have comics from creator Mike Mignola out semi-frequently, though, and Hellboy Web of Wyrd looks to capitalize on that continued success.

Hellboy has fallen out of the pop culture conversation somewhat since the 2019 film rebooted Guillermo del Toro's pair of movies. During The Game Awards 2022, a surprise announcement revealed Hellboy Web of Wyrd, an action-adventure rogue-lite based on the hit Dark Horse comic.
