Summary
- Hell is Us release date was confirmed for September 4, 2025.
- The game features a semi-open world without a map or compass.
- The new trailer focuses on atmosphere, mixing Soulslike elements with drones.
Good news has arrived for fans eagerly awaiting an update on Hell is Us, as the game has finally received a confirmed release date. Developed by Rouge Factor and published by Nancon, the upcoming third-person action title made its most recent major appearance at PlayStation’s 2024 State of Play in September, offering a glimpse into Hell is Us and its dark, moody world and melee-heavy combat. PlayStation has been quieter than industry giants Nintendo and Xbox regarding its 2025 announcements, likely because Sony reserves many of its big reveals for its State of Play events.
Aside from last year’s gameplay reveal of Hell is Us, details about the game have been scarce. So far, most of the reveals have focused on its haunting visuals, storyline, and fast-paced combat style. However, information has gradually surfaced, including the revelation that the game will feature a semi-open world, navigated without a map or compass, and players will have access to a drone that interacts with the suite of available melee weapons.

Former Deus Ex Art Director Working on Nacon Published Game Hell Is Us
Publisher Nacon announces the development of a new semi-open world title called Hell Is Us, set in a country beset by monsters and war.
As spotted by Fandom Pulse on Twitter, the release date for Hell is Us is set for September 4, 2025. The announcement was made at PlayStation’s State of Play event on February 12, which also showcased a new gameplay trailer that revealed more of the game’s storyline and introduced new characters.
The Release Date for Hell is Us Has Been Confirmed
- Release Date: September 4
Rouge Factor initially planned to release the game in 2024, but the launch was delayed to give the developer more time to fully realize its vision. Recently, a leak about the Hell is Us release date began circulating, claiming September 4 as the launch day, which has now been confirmed. The September release will place the title up against other heavy hitters expected to launch around the same time, including Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and perhaps even Grand Theft Auto 6.
The trailer that accompanied the release date announcement, focused heavily on atmosphere but was light on action, further building on the eerie vibes and narrative seen in previous trailers. Since its first reveal, Hell is Us seems to draw inspiration from the Soulslike genre, featuring a dark post-apocalyptic setting and unsettling supernatural enemies. However, the semi-open world, lack of a navigation tool, and drones offer a fresh take on the genre.
Hell is Us will mark Rouge Factor’s first original IP, and with the release date now confirmed, September is set to be a major month for both the developer and fans. With plenty of innovative features, genre-blending gameplay, and stunning visuals, the game is sure to be a highly anticipated 2025 release for many gamers.
