Introducing Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

Welcome to the Vietnam War

We are thrilled to announce our next chapter: Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is the first new entry in the Hell Let Loose franchise, transporting the series into the Vietnam War. It builds on everything that made our World War Two-based Hell Let Loose so popular, including large-scale 50 vs 50 battles, immersive realism, and deep strategic gameplay. This new title takes advantage of the change in setting to deliver fresh gameplay systems and new ways to fight. Expect era-specific weapons, environments, and challenges, from brutal jungle combat to tense tactical scenarios where success depends on coordination, strategy, and teamwork, reimagined for an entirely different battlefield.

Hell Let Loose sets itself apart in the FPS genre with it’s platoon-based, hardcore FPS gameplay where victory cannot be achieved alone. Only through teamwork, tactics, and clear communication with your squad will you secure objectives, outmanoeuvre the enemy, and fight for every inch of ground. Nothing else matters.

Launching in 2026, experience the Vietnam War next year and fight your way across Vietnam in sprawling, meticulously crafted maps inspired by real operations and locations from the conflict. This is a brand-new experience, bringing fresh gameplay systems and new ways to fight, all while delivering the immersive theatre-of-war atmosphere that players fell in love with in the original.

The Battle for Vietnam

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam covers the Vietnam War beginning in 1965, focusing on the conflict between the United States Armed Forces (US Forces) and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). The game features a wide range of historically authentic uniforms, weapons, vehicles, and armor, faithfully recreating the equipment and atmosphere of the era.

Welcome to the Jungle

With Hell Let Loose: Vietnam taking us to a new conflict, we’ve introduced a range of features that give players fresh ways to fight, counter the enemy, and outmanoeuvre opposing forces.

The first major change is the setting itself. Battles unfold across dramatic terrain including dense jungles, rice fields, beaches, rivers, and rolling hills.

For map development, we drew inspiration from key events, locations, and operations of the Vietnam War. This approach has produced six distinctive maps for launch, with more to come in future updates.

While not exact recreations of real-world sites, each map is grounded in real operations and locations from the conflict to ensure authenticity. Maps have been chosen for both their significance and their varied environments, with each offering a unique identity and distinct gameplay experience. Map designs draw from pivotal moments in the war, such as Operation Starlite and Operation Piranha.

Traversing the Battlefield

Look Up!

When recreating the Vietnam War, one key element cannot be overlooked: helicopters. In Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, the US Forces will have access to fully operational helicopters designed for rapid troop deployment, dropping supplies, as well as extraction from the fight to reposition forces elsewhere. These versatile units play a critical role in transporting soldiers to landing zones, delivering supplies to tactical locations, conducting reconnaissance, and providing aerial firepower.

We will share much more detail on how helicopters function in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam in a future developer brief, so keep an eye out for upcoming news.

Hidden Paths to Victory

While the US Forces dominate the skies, the NVA will operate more covertly with the ability to construct extensive tunnel networks across the battlefield. These tunnels expand on the existing Garrison system from Hell Let Loose, allowing troops
