While this fall has no shortage of big games coming out, there are plenty of promising games bubbling under the radar, too. Case in point: today Good Shepherd Entertainment announced that Hellboy Web of Wyrd arrives on consoles and PC on October 4th.
They revealed the release date with a trailer (embedded below) that looks like a Hellboy comic come to life — due in no small part, likely, to the fact that series creator Mike Mignola helped with some of the game’s art.
Watch the video and check out the screenshots below, and then check out the game when it arrives on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch on October 4th.
Global video game publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment’s highly anticipated action-brawler video game, 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 Oct. 4 (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2160480/Hellboy_Web_of_Wyrd/). 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.
