A New Hellboy Game Has Been Announced For Nintendo Switch

I’m gonna have to see more, because I’m not, really sure what it is yet? But I do enjoy what I see!

The visual style reminds me of West of Dead, where Ron Perlman voices the main character. He'll always be Hellboy in my book, but this seems worth a look.

Hellboy games are middling in quality so I will wait on a review.

Firstly A+++++ for capturing the art style AND for not going for a movie tie in. Secondly I hope this has more detective, exploration and open area questing and less of this weird looking beat 'em up style all the way through. But as a huge Hellboy fan I am extremely excited to see what they have made. I haven't been this excited for a non star wars licensed game... ever?

Oh my God. Is this already my new favourite game?

@calbeau OMG I was thinking the exact same thing! Now I need to go back and play that game lol

Whoa, it looks really faithful to Mike Mignola's artwork! Will keep an eye on this.

Shame Ron pearlman couldn't have done the voice but lance Riddick is still cool in his own right

I like the art style. Will need a review

this looks amazing. with the mike mignola artstyle and everything.

I really like the graphics. It's good to see that not every developer is going for the ultra realistic look that's so common.

@DKGXX85 not Ron Perlman?
Well, I ain't mad as long as it's good.

I can finally stop looking at West of Dead, which is voiced by RP, wishing it was what it isn't, and hope this will be the awesome looking NOT rogue like game I want. I love visuals that never age.

edit: not TOO rogue like. I want constant progression, not constant grinding and sheer luck...

If those graphics are a fair representation of the game then it could be good. Not much to go on so far though.

If the game plays half as good as it looks, we are all in for a treat!

Visuals remind me of Mad World

I'll be keeping an eye on this, the art style is very cool!

@calbeau It's from the same developers

@pmdgv Ah, well that explains it. Their style does match Mignola's style rather well.

@Deltarogue @calbeau that game’s art is based on Mike Mignola’s art, who is the creator of Hellboy : )

Honestly it’s a very impressive recreation of his style. It’d be nice to see some kind of subtle paper texture overlay as well, I think that would really help sell the style. Some of the animations were a little floaty too, but it’s an early preview and damn, I’m excited!

Hoping for a Lobster Johnson game next!

This looks amazing. The artstyle is what drew me to Borderlands 2, even though FPS is not my type of game at all. A story driven game based on a great comic? Hell yeah!

Yes please. And a few for backup.

this will be a dumpster fire after roughly one week. who asked for this? the gfx do look cool but this game is going to suck hard! have fun suckers!!!

Reminds me of the Wii game made by platinum.

Art style is awesome, voice acting threw me off as I’m too used to Ron Perlman / David Harbour versions. I hope this is good, but I’ll be cautiously optimistic…. Everything is rogue nowdays and not all of it is great. Though if it’s like Hades but in 3rd person I’ll be sold!

@Smug43 This is not the final fantasy sixteen thread my dude.

Looks good. İ had fun while watching it.

I didn't realize this is a rougelike. I have to say this does not bode well for the game. It already looks generic gameplay wise, why can't people just make a good hellboy game? Making it look like hellboy is not enough. I expect this to be a solid 6/10 which gives me no joy honestly, I had high hopes.

@Cordyceps care to explain?

@Smug43 no. You'll figure it out on your own. I believe in you.

I wish it weren't a rouge-anything but lite I guess is better than like.

Of course, Perlman is the perfect voice for Hellboy, even without the movies I think he would be, but I do like this new voice. I think it could do with being a bit deeper, but other than that it's cool.

Art style is superb - but the genre sadly is pretty uninteresting.

Trailer looks extremely promising, but roguelite... I will have to wait and see.

Everyone seems to like this, but to me it looks awful. And I do like Hellboy.

This actually looks clunkier than Hellboy: The Science of Evil.

Lance Riddick as Hellboy? Didn't he recently pass away. One of his last roles I take it. Also, is that also Jim Cummings I hear in the trailer?

@Poodlestargenerica My thoughts exactly. I've a been collecting Hellboy comics ( including the off shoots) since his original story in Dark Horse presents. I've always found previous games always miss the detective elements. Still, this new games art style is spot on.

I am excited for this

Trying not to get too hyped but this looks amazing. Could it be the Hellboy we deserve?

@Ogbert I’d just assumed he WAS Hellboy lol. Best thing that came from those movies was his casting. A crime imo we didn’t get a third even if they weren’t perfect.

@KnightofNi_ Yeah unfortunately reports were Del Toro and Mignola didn’t agree with the direction to take the third film so it never happened. Which is fair as the comics and the films have a quite different tone at times and some characters are very different, Abe in particular. Both are great in their own ways though!

I think David Harbour was an excellent choice for the Hellboy reboot, but sadly the end product wasn’t… the best. It’ll be interesting to see how the new one comes out. Being based on a single comic rather than taking bits from a bunch will hopefully give it focus.
