There’s a new Hellboy trailer just out, and we’re taking a look at some games and merch striaght from the BPRD.

It might not be the Hellboy 3 we were expecting, but with the new Hellboy: The Crooked Man trailer having just come out, there’s no better time to take a look at some great Hellboy games and merch while you wait.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man & The Return of Effie Kolb

If you gotta start a list of games and merch about a character from an upcoming movie that was originally based on some other form of media, start with the source material. That’s what I’ve always said. You can quote me on that.

Hellboy helps a young man who sold his soul to the terrifying Crooked Man in Mignola and Richard Corben’s original series and the inspiration for the new film. In the sequel by Mignola and Zach Howard, Hellboy confronts the folk legend again when someone—or something—has moved into the Crooked Man’s backwoods mansion with wicked intentions.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Listen. The other movies are great, but Golden Army is just fantastic. I was never much of a Hellboy fan before having seen Golden Army, and I even did see the first movie prior. But this movie changed my mind about what fun a Hellboy movie could be.

If you’ve seen it, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, there’s a big orange button right down there you might wanna check out.

The fate of mankind hangs in the balance in Hellboy II: The Golden Army when a ruthless prince awakens an unstoppable army of creatures and wages war with the human world. It’s up to Hellboy (Ron Perlman) and his team of paranormal outcasts to face off with the forces of darkness in the ultimate battle of good versus evil! Prepare to be taken by the visionary director of The Shape of Water (Guillermo del Toro) into a fantastical world with imaginative creatures and thrilling fight sequences unlike anything you’ve ever seen before!

Hellboy The Board Game

Obviously I had to include a board game. And considering this is a list about Hellboy, I thought it made the most sense to include Hellboy: The Board Game. In fact, we’ve already taken a pretty in-depth look at the game when it released a few years back. So check out our full unboxing and quick overview by clicking here.

SCARY MYSTERY GAME: Become a member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and investigate occult threats that threaten our very existence. Explore gothic locations, hunt down clues, discover artifacts, fight horrific creatures and face off against terrifying bosses!

CRACK THE CASE: Start the mission by reading a BPRD Case File that sets the scene for the investigation ahead and gives hints about what threats you may encounter. The contents of each Case File are top secret, so the first time you play you’ll have no idea what you’re about to face!
