The Hellboy franchise continues kicking ass with new comics and an upcoming feature film reboot, as well as all kinds of toys from Funko, the title character’s recent addition to Injustice 2, and even the big red dude’s own brand of “Hell Water” cinnamon whiskey. What’s next for Hellboy and his red right hand of doom? A board game!
Via Licensing.biz, Mantic Games and Dark Horse have entered into a licensing partnership to produce the first ever Hellboy board game, based on the comic book universe.
“The Hellboy board game will be a co-operative experience in which players face off against some of the comic’s most famous foes.”
“Set to make its Kickstarter debut in April 2018, the Hellboy board game will feature plastic miniatures that capture the look and feel of Mike Mignola’s comic series.”
“Hellboy has a great cast of characters, diverse locations and legendary monsters from the pages of folklore and myth,” said Ronnie Renton, Mantic CEO. “The comics provide a fantastic foundation on which to build an immersive, fun and fast-paced cooperative board game that will let players experience some of their favourite moments from the series.”
