Spin Master has announced a major expansion to the studio lineup behind\u00a0Hellbreak<\/a><\/strong>, its upcoming horror trading card game, adding three heavyweight genre partners:\u00a0Blumhouse<\/strong>,\u00a0AMC Global Media<\/strong>, and\u00a0Lionsgate<\/strong>. They join\u00a0Universal Products & Experiences<\/strong>, which was previously announced as the game\u2019s cornerstone partner.<\/p>\n Developed in collaboration with Ghost Galaxy, Hellbreak is a competitive, head-to-head trading card game built for fast, aggressive play. Each player commands a fearsome monster as their \u201cleader,\u201d builds resources, deploys minions, and launches attacks \u2014 with victory going to whoever takes down the opposing monster first.<\/p>\n The first set is shaping up to be a horror art collector\u2019s dream, featuring illustrations from more than 43 artists. Previously revealed characters already include Universal icons like\u00a0Dracula<\/strong>, the\u00a0Bride of Frankenstein<\/strong>, and\u00a0Jaws<\/strong>, with more reveals promised in the coming months as new studio partners bring their own monsters into the mix.<\/p>\n Pairing Universal\u2019s classic monster stable with Blumhouse\u2019s modern horror empire, Lionsgate\u2019s slasher and franchise catalog, and AMC\u2019s television horror properties is a big swing \u2014 it puts decades of horror IP from wildly different eras and mediums onto the same battlefield. For fans, that likely means the potential to see everything from Universal\u2019s Golden Age monsters to Blumhouse\u2019s contemporary hits to Lionsgate franchise villains represented on cards in the same set or format.<\/p>\n Spin Master\u2019s President of Toys, Doug Wadleigh, called it a major step in expanding the company\u2019s games portfolio by bringing premium studio horror IP into the trading card space. Blumhouse CEO Jason Blum echoed that sentiment, saying Hellbreak channels the studio\u2019s two decades of horror filmmaking directly into the hands of players.<\/p>\n Hellbreak is slated to launch in\u00a0Fall 2026<\/strong>. Spin Master has not yet detailed exactly which characters each new studio partner will contribute, so expect a steady drip of monster reveals between now and launch.<\/p>\n Follow us on social @iHorrorNews<\/a> for more Hellbreak reveals as Spin Master unveils its full monster roster.<\/em><\/p>\nWhat Is Hellbreak?<\/h2>\n
