Yes, Lance Reddick does voice Hellboy in Web of Wyrd.
This was one of his final roles before his untimely passing in March 2023. The game was then released six months later, in October 2023, making it his last voice role in a video game.
«Our hearts are with Lance's family, friends, colleagues, and fans. Lance was a brilliant performer, generous with his time and attention — he had talent beyond compare, and we remain honored to have him as our Hellboy,» wrote the official Hellboy Web of Wyrd X account.
Nathan Drake and Deadpool voice actor Nolan North shared: «Gutted. Such a sweet guy and gifted performer».
Shawn Ashmore wrote: «I was lucky enough to get to work and know him while making Quantum Break. Talented, kind, funny and very cool. Rest in peace».
Reddick was also known in the video space as Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel, Horizon Forbidden West. Developer Guerilla added an update with a tribute to the late actor.
The Game Awards creator Geoff Keighley stated: «So sad to hear about Lance Reddick. What a wonderful human. He was a frequent guest and supporter of TGA, even recorded promo VOs one year for us. An amazing actor who gave so much to games, gone far too soon.»
Games developer Bungie posted a tribute to the actor noting how «Lance Reddick was an iconic presence on screen, in Destiny, and most importantly, in person».
Players, meanwhile, gathered around Commander Zavala (played by Reddick) to mourn the loss.

Microsoft has introduced its latest AI efforts which are capable of generating character dialogue, and it's got voice actors fearing for the future of the industry.
The campaigns in Call of Duty are always cinematic affairs, and enhancing this filmic quality of the storytelling is the CoD MW3 cast.
It's been the better part of a year since the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Edrtree expansion was announced, and we've heard nothing of note about it since. The most recent financial report out of FromSoftware parent company Kadokawa brings both good news and bad on that front, which can be summed up in a single brief sentence: It's coming along nicely.
We were mightily impressed with Teyon’s adaptation, as seen in our review, and part of what makes it so great are the many characters bringing the world to life.
The new voice of Wario — or at least, the person behind his grumpy moustachioed mouth in WarioWare: Move It! — looks to be Kevin Afghani, the actor also cast as the new voices of both Mario and Luigi.
Sam Lake, creative director of Remedy Entertainment, has infused his impressive writing chops into all of his games, all of which are imbued with a filmic quality.
A podcast by Embark Studios—creators of the upcoming FPS The Finals—has hinted that the game will be using AI voice lines for the foreseeable future. The explanation, however, has left some voice actors feeling confused, at best.
GOG has long been known as the premiere destination for DRM-free PC releases, which comes in handy for those who don’t want to deal with DRM either preventing a game from being played, making it play worse performance-wise, or just being annoying with constant online check-ins. Sony has become known as the destination for long-form single-player epics, really beginning with the God of War series on the PS2 and continuing that trend with Uncharted – making today’s announcement that both series will be available in some form in a DRM-free format soon being rather fitting. Sony has released several of their games via GOG and GOG is marking the season not only with a big sale, but also the announcement that the 2018 God of War that got a PC release a couple of years ago will now see a DRM-free release via GOG alongside Uncharted: the Legacy of Thieves Collection.
Epic Games Publishing and Remedy Entertainment's exceptional survival horror game, , is a phenomenal game that features some of the best vocal acting in any recently released title. Managing to avoid the lure of hiring widely known celebrities to fill out its roster of voices, does still feature a cast comprised of a number of figures with easily recognizable voices — many of which players will quite possibly be able to identify from their notable roles in the worlds of film, theater, and television, and, in a few select cases, even from other popular video games.
Remedy made sure to remember two dearly departed collaborators in the credits of Alan Wake 2.
As easy as Insomniac might make it look, taking a property from the pages of a comic book and breathing digital life into it is no small or simple task. Baying legions of rabid fans are the first obstacle, and developers will have to weave through a chicane of potential online vitriol, before you hit the sizeable bump in the road of either creating a wholly new narrative or translating a well-worn one that you can’t possibly divert from.
