Team17 announces
Hell Let Loose will officially unleash hell for Windows
on July 27th. That is where the World War II first-person shooter will
officially launch
on Steam,
where it's been undergoing basic training in Early Access. Word is console
editions will follow at some point thereafter. A new
Announcement Trailer lets loose a look at gameplay. Here are a hell of a lot
of details:
Set during World War II, in addition to the nine key Western
Front battles available right now in Early Access (including the D-Day beach
landings at Utah and Omaha, Carentan, and Foy) Hell Let Loose’s release onto PC
next month will introduce Russian forces and two new large urban maps set in the
Eastern Front: Kursk and Stalingrad.
Hell Let Loose delivers an authentic reenactment of the large-scale chaos of
war, where individuals are cogs working together to turn the tide of battle. As
the fight unfolds, the two sides work to secure crucial supply chains for
resources, capture sectors across the map that influences the outcome of the
fight, sweep across battlefields in armoured tanks, or disable defenses with
artillery bombardment. Strategic gameplay and communication is critical to
winning a battle; both sides are split into 10 squads of five players, each
squad led by an officer who reports to a single commander who ultimately
develops the path to victory – or takes responsibility for bloody defeat.
Hell Let Loose key features:
- Experience authentic, strategic gameplay: Fight in epic 50 vs 50
multiplayer battles across two distinct game modes, Offensive and Warfare;
- Battle across both European theatres: Fight across 11
authentically recreated maps, including two on the Eastern Front. On the
Western Front land at Omaha or Utah Beaches, fight through Carentan and into
the frozen forests of Foy before climbing Hill 400
- Discover and master your role in battle: Choose from 14 unique
roles, including officer, medic, machinegunner, commander, tank crewman,
sniper and more
- Immersive gameplay: Authentic ballistics and recoil patterns
create satisfying, skillful gunplay
Fortifications and vehicles: Build defenses on the battlefield to strengthen
positions, or take control of an array of World War II era vehicles,
including the Sherman and Tiger tanks
