Hold onto your helmets, folks! Team17 and Expression Games just unleashed something that’s going to make tactical FPS fans lose their minds. Hell Let Loose Vietnam has officially been revealed, and honestly? It looks like they’re about to put us through the wringer in the best possible way.
Remember when you thought Hell Let Loose was intense? Well, buckle up buttercup, because Vietnam is about to teach you what real warfare looks like. This isn’t your typical run-and-gun shooter — this is 50v50 tactical mayhem where one wrong move sends you straight to respawn hell.
The developers aren’t messing around with authenticity either. We’re talking historically sensitive content covering the Vietnam conflict from 1965-1973, complete with all the brutal reality that entails. No heroes here, just squads trying to survive another day in the jungle.
Hell Let Loose Vietnam launches with six sprawling maps that’ll have you questioning every tree, every bush, and every shadow. The North Vietnamese forces can build extensive tunnel networks (because apparently regular warfare wasn’t terrifying enough), while helicopters buzz overhead dropping troops and raining down fire support.
And let’s talk about those patrol boats for a second — nothing says “welcome to Vietnam” like heavily armed vessels cutting through the water while you’re trying not to become fish food.
Look, we’ve seen plenty of Vietnam games over the years, but most of them treat the conflict like a Hollywood movie set. Hell Let Loose Vietnam seems different. The developers are promising “careful attention” to creating an authentic experience, which means this isn’t going to be some sanitized version of history.
The tactical elements that made the original Hell Let Loose so addictive are all here — combined arms warfare, teamwork requirements that’ll make you actually use your mic, and that sweet, sweet feeling when your squad actually works together instead of running around like headless chickens.
Here’s the kicker that’s going to drive everyone crazy: Hell Let Loose Vietnam isn’t launching until 2026. Yeah, that’s right — we’ve got to wait nearly two years to get our hands on this tactical masterpiece.
But hey, at least you can wishlist it right now on Steam, Epic, PlayStation, and Xbox. Because nothing says “I’m ready for virtual PTSD” like adding another game to your ever-growing wishlist.
The original Hell Let Loose community isn’t being abandoned either — Team17 confirmed they’re still pumping out content and support for the base game while Vietnam gets developed. Smart move, considering how passionate that fanbase can get.
