Hellboy Web of Wyrd is a horror-themed Roguelike Action-Adventure game based upon the Hellboy comics by Mike Mignola. It was developed by Upstream Arcade (West of Dead), published by Good Shepherd Entertainment, and features Lance Reddick in a posthumous role as Hellboy himself.

In an original story conceived in cooperation with Mignola, the game sees Hellboy investigating The Butterfly House - a mysterious estate with a supernatural legacy - after a BPRD agent goes missing within its confines.

The game was released on PC and consoles on October 18, 2023.


Hellboy Web of Wyrd contains examples of the following tropes:

  • Cel Shading: The game has a cel-shaded art style that is faithful to the comics.
  • Hair-Raising Hare: One enemy type in the game is a large rabbit-like creature that's about the size of a werewolf.
  • In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It: The trailer specifically gives the title of the game as Mike Mignola's Hellboy Web of Wyrd.
  • Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: Hellboy gets one in the reveal trailer, right before it segues to gameplay:
    Unseen Voice: Who are you?
    Hellboy: Me? I'm mad. (Goes to town on a wolf creature.)
