Rogue Factor and publisher Nacon revealed Hell is Us today. It is an action adventure title that has been in development for years and the studio’s most ambitious project to date.

Hell is Us is a third-person action-adventure game set in a semi-open world where the main character sets out to learn more about his past in a country ravaged by civil war. The almost total self-sufficiency of the country hides a dark secret: the recent appearance of supernatural creatures resembling ancient headstones and monuments in the region. The citizens call this phenomenon “the Calamity”. Armed with weapons specially forged to fight these monsters, the protagonist must learn how to defeat them and use his equipment wisely.

Hell is Us is a game in a new genre, one where players explore environments to find information all by themselves. “Our goal with Hell is Us is to bring back true adventure and exploration,” said Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, Creative Director on the project. “There’s no need for a detailed quest log or precise waypoint on the map: we want players to feel the thrill of adventure, guided by their feelings and instincts.”
“We are delighted to be able to finally announce this game,” said Alain Falc, CEO of NACON. “As a publisher, we always want to offer games with original ideas that will appeal to as many people as possible. The first game from Rogue Factor since we acquired it is also one of our most ambitious projects, and we can’t wait to reveal more about it in the coming months.”

This is a throwback type of game exploration wise, where players will be left to themselves to explore. No mini-map, no HUD, no waypoints etc. The video below shows little cinematic focus, so we don’t get to see any of the Unreal Engine 5 gameplay we all so badly want.

The good news is it is coming to PC and only Xbox Series S/X and PS5 in 2023. What do you guys think of Hell of US? Let us know below
