Hell Let Loose is an online first-person shooter set in World War II that has you fighting across 11 recreated maps, 9 from the Western Front including Omaha and Utah Beaches, and 2 from the Eastern Front conflicts at Kursk and Stalingrad. A key goal for developer Black Matter when creating the game was to create an authentic reenactment of the chaos of war, where you are purely a cog in large-scale battles. Due to this, strategy will be very important in your gameplay if you want to win in the 50 vs 50 multiplayer battles in each of the two game modes: Offensive and Warfare. Each 50 person team is split into 10 squads of 5 people with one officer leading each squad. The officers all report to a single commander who is the one ultimately responsible for if their team wins or loses.
There are plenty of ways to play with 14 roles to choose from before entering battles such as medic, commander, tank crewman, sniper, and more. To be the fully immersive WWII shooter that the developers set out to make, the guns will showcase realistic ballistics and recoil patterns and players can take control of era-appropriate machinery and vehicles like the Sherman and Tiger Tanks spread across the map.
Team17 and Black Matter have announced that the Hell Let Loose, currently in Steam Early Access, will be getting a full release for PC via Steam on July 27. And later this year the game will release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. More information on the console versions will be announced in the coming months.
