Open World Action-Adventure Title ‘Hell is Us’ Will Launch September 4 [Watch]

NACON and studio Rogue Factor have followed up on last October’s gameplay trailer for Hell is Us with a brand new one that has announced a September 4 release date for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

In Hell is Us, Players take on the role of Remi, who after many years abroad decides to return to his homeland to find answers about his past. However, in addition to a civil war that has divided the country, the region is suffering from a mysterious calamity, which has given rise to supernatural creatures that no modern weapon can defeat.

In spite of its Soulslike appearance,  the gameplay for Hell is Us should not be considered one when it comes to its combat. Rather, the game is one where combat is designed to offer a “well-seasoned difficulty level without being overly punitive.” Players will have to learn to master a range of different moves and adapt to enemy attacks, relying on a variety of weapons and skills, as well as the help of KAPI, a drone that will prove indispensable during fights, either by distracting opponents or enabling special attacks.

When it comes to the game’s design, Rogue Factor refers to it as “player-plattering”, which encourages exploration and reflection via omitting traditional forms of assistance. As noted before in past coverage, Hell is Us doesn’t feature markers or quest journals detailing exactly what to do. Rather, players must use their curiosity and instincts to discover places that will lead them to explore dungeons. More information on this will be revealed in a video in the future.
