Hellboy Punches Through a New Gameplay Trailer for ‘Hellboy: Web of Wyrd’ [Watch]
Announced way back in December, Good Shepherd Entertainment and developer Upstream Arcade have finally given those interested in their upcoming action roguelite Hellboy: Web of Wyrd a taste of the gameplay with a brand-new trailer. Revealed during the ID@Xbox Digital Showcase, the gameplay trailer shows off and some of the gameplay features of Web of Wyrd, including its locations, and Hellboy doing what he does best in punching the crap out of enemies.
Featuring an original story created in collaboration with Dark Horse Comics and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, Web of Wyrd sends Hellboy “on a series of vastly different and wholly unique adventures” that are all tied to the mysterious Butterfly House.
Built in 1962 by occultist Pasquale Deneveaux, The Butterfly House is actually a gateway into a terrible and fascinating dimension called The Wyrd. A B.P.R.D. agent sent on a reconnaissance mission to the mansion and promptly goes missing. It’s up to you as Hellboy, along with your team of Bureau agents, to find your missing colleague and uncover the secrets of The Butterfly House.
During the investigation, you will explore wondrous and strange planes of existence contained within The Wyrd, each one home to powerful monsters, forgotten godforms, magnificent treasures, and powerful secrets. But be warned, because ancient evil stagnates within the furthest reaches of The Wyrd… evil that is eager to be let out.
Currently in development for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, Web of Wyrd features the late Lance Reddick as the voice of Hellboy.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
