Hellbreak is a newly revealed collaboration between Spin Master and Universal Products & Experiences, in collaboration with the tabletop design team from Ghost Galaxy. The brand-new horror trading card game promises to give horror fans a “haunting new way to engage with their favorite characters from a vast trove of horror IP.” While not too many details have been unveiled just yet, the game is already sounding like a potential hit for trading card game fans who love a terrifying tale.
Hellbreak To Bring Classic Characters to Life in Trading Card Game Form
Announced on February 3rd, Hellbreak will bring a new trading card experience for horror fans. Its gameplay is centered on a “Monster Sandbox” arena, where characters from “horror history” will battle one another in a “fight to the bitter end.” So if you want to settle your friend group’s debate about the ultimate horror villain, this game will give you a fun new way to do it.
The game’s first set of cards will feature characters from across Universal Pictures’ lineup of horror IP, from Universal Monsters and beyond. Though no specific films have been named, the initial announcement promises a lineup that “encompasses genre-defining classics, icons of horror’s late 20th century resurgence, and visionaries who continue to shape fear for modern audiences.” In other words, horror characters old and new are on the tabletop here.
Universal has quite a lineup of horror hits to pull from here. There’s the Universal Monsters lineup, including Dracula, Frankenstein, and various spin-offs and sequels. And of course, newer entries include titles like Five Nights at Freddy’s and Nope. But even if your favorite horror characters aren’t a part of the Universal Pictures universe, they may well appear in future Hellbreak sets.
