Hellboy Punches His Way into Injustice 2 with a Gameplay Trailer

Hellboy was announced for Injustice 2 back in August, and gamers have been waiting on pins and needles to see how he would play ever since. We waited so long NetherRealm Studios even revealed The Atom before it got around to demonstrating Hellboy’s playstyle, but we finally have received the Hellboy gameplay trailer we all wanted.

Hellboy will apparently be quite the pugilist in Injustice 2. He makes good use of his regular hand, but his more devastating attacks feature his Right Hand of Doom; Hellboy uses this oversized stone fist to toss opponents around, knock them about like dolls, and block attacks.

As a member of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Development, Hellboy has to face plenty of supernatural creatures, and not everything is vulnerable to punching, so he comes equipped with items that would probably make for some good Castlevania sub-weapons. These include small grenades, his signature pistol the Good Samaritan, a weird arrowhead that produces green smoke (I have no idea what it’s supposed to do), a vial of water that creates a small, landborn riptide, a bronze sword, and an unknown item that entangles opponents in roots.

Hellboy also carries a rosary cross that can be used to activate a sort of rage mode that regrows his horns, albeit into pure fire, and reveals his Crown of the Apocalypse. No, the crown doesn’t actually bring an end to the world, but it does give Hellboy a limited shield that lets him shrug off most attacks. Finally, like all Injustice 2 characters, Hellboy comes with a super move (that he activates with a pendant) that lets him literally punch enemies into the center of the Earth, where they are greeted by small, flying imps and an axe to the face.

Hellboy looks like a hellishly good character to play in Injustice 2; it’s a shame he won’t be available until November 14th.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
