These characters from Hellboy will be new guest characters that will be joining a roster of over 40 characters that also features Rayman, which was made possible after Ubisoft purchased Brawlhalla developer Blue Mammoth Games last year. Hellboy, created by Mike Mignola, is being adapted once again into a feature film and will see "the legendary half-demon superhero called to the English countryside to battle a trio of rampaging giants."Throughout the film he will encounter the three other characters headed to Brawlhalla, Nimue - the Blood Queen and sorceress, Gruagach - A boar-like creature who is loyal to Nimue, and Ben Daimio - a member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense who can turn into a Jaguar when angered.Hellboy, starring David Harbour as Hellboy himself, will be released in theaters on April 12 and we've talked to Mike Mignola about how this reboot is bringing the comics to life and how David Harbour's performance differs from previous Hellboy actor Ron Perlman. You can also check out Hellboy's trailers, of which the first one was the third most popular trailers of IGN in 2018 with over 9.1 million views. All of these Hellboy characters will be released in April and Brawlhalla can be downloaded for free on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
