Immediate Murder Professionals: Helluva Boss Card Game Sets Kickstarter on Fire

Fans of the animated series Helluva Boss recently got a huge surprise with the early launch of the official card game Immediate Murder Professionals: A Helluva Boss Official Game on Kickstarter—six hours ahead of schedule. The response blew up instantly, with the initial funding goal of $25,000 reached within minutes and more than $125,000 raised in just one hour.

Fun and Competitive Gameplay for Up to 24 Players

Scheduled for release in April 2026, the game offers a competitive experience of around 20 minutes for up to 24 players. Players choose favorite main characters from the series—Blitzo, Moxxie, Millie, or Loona—and compete to hunt high-value targets, travel between the human world and hell, and sabotage opponents’ strategies. A beta ruleset is available on the Kickstarter page so backers can get an early feel for the gameplay.

The Popularity of Helluva Boss

Helluva Boss itself is a spin-off from the musical animated series Hazbin Hotel, now streaming on Prime Video. The pilot episode on YouTube has been watched over 80 million times, making it one of the biggest indie animation phenomena in recent years. Its blend of dark humor, eccentric characters, and the evolving Hellaverse world captivates fans—and now all that energy is channeled into this exciting card game.

Kickstarter Editions and Perks

Creatist Games offers three Kickstarter editions:

• Standard Retail Edition priced at $29 (MSRP $40) for general fans.

• Grimoire Edition at $69, including acrylic character standees, a spellbook-style slipcover, and stretch goal content.

• Collector’s Edition for $99, which adds an exclusive Millie figure made in collaboration with YouTooz.

Early Launch Controversy

Despite the huge success, the early launch caused some controversy. Many fans on the mailing list complained they didn’t get timely notifications to take advantage of super limited promo deals, such as $1 retail and $6 Grimoire editions. Creatist Games apologized, but the reason behind the early launch ahead of the countdown is still unclear.

Huge Enthusiasm and Future Prospects

The rapid funding pace means many stretch goals will likely unlock soon. The overwhelming fan enthusiasm behind Helluva Boss shows how passionate communities can push creative projects far beyond expectations.

Immediate Murder Professionals is more than just a card game—it’s an extension of Helluva Boss’ beloved world and a testament to the power of dedicated fanbases driving creative success.
