game could take a similar route to 2022's Evil Dead: The Game. title that took inspiration from the third-person gameplay of Resident Evil could be exciting, with players taking on the role of Major Ben Daimo, Roger the Homunculus, or the aforementioned trio of Hellboy, Abe, and Liz. Like the DC and Marvel universes, the Mignolaverse of comics at Dark Horse would lend themselves well to a wide variety of gaming genres. In short, Hellboy deserves the opportunity to show gaming what he's made of, particularly in light of the gothic successes of games like FromSoftware's Bloodborne and Elden Ring. This seems likely to change now that Embracer has acquired Dark Horse (which had itself established a video game division in 2021), but the lack of any new announcements underlines just how long Hellboy has gone unappreciated in this space. In the meantime, the Hellboy mythos constructed by Mignola and his collaborators in comics like Hellboy, B.P.R.D., and Abe Sapien continues to be ignored by the gaming medium. New Bat Family game Gotham Knights releases in October, while next year will see the launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, with other titles like Marvel's Wolverine and Wonder Woman also in development.

Hellboy eventually leaves the Bureau in 2000, after which he embarks on his own journey of self-reflection, eventually culminating in an epic battle for the throne of England (followed by an unfortunate trip to Hell). He is joined by other notable characters, including the amphibious fish-man Abe Sapien, the pyrokinetic Liz Sherman, and the ghostly German scientist Johann Kraus. Arriving on Earth to seal its doom but being raised in secret by a warmhearted professor and his not-so-sentimental organization, the B.P.R.D., Hellboy becomes an agent fighting all kinds of supernatural threats - including the remnants of the Third Reich. Created in 1993 by Mignola, Hellboy is a gothic superhero who takes after his pulp idols from the Second World War - Lobster Johnson in particular.
