Hell Let Loose Is Getting A Standalone Game Set In Vietnam

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam shouldn't be mistaken for an expansion or DLC for the popular FPS that has attracted tens of thousands of players and a sparkling review score on Steam. This new project will be completely separate from the original Hell Let Loose, and will offer a number of new gameplay features to coincide with the core mechanics that long-time players are already familiar with.

Vietnam is a fresh entry that places more emphasis on historical authenticity with its new setting, with gamers filling the shoes of the NVA. Using the power of Unreal Engine 5, players will, once again, be thrown into captivating 50v50 player battles, but will also be able to enjoy some new additions, such as:

Usable helicopters and airborne combat for US soldiers.
New mortar squads
A tunnel network system for the NVA.
Playable boats and marine combat in rivers.

The new features promise to challenge players like never before, with threats from above, below, and on the water adding another layer of depth to the war simulation experience. Not only will these mechanics require some practice to master, players will also need to be more alert in order to identify new strategies on the battlefield.

While it is an exciting time for FPS and Hell Let Loose players, the existing fanbase can be rest assured that the original game won't be neglected in the wake of Vietnam's release. The original Hell Let Loose will continue to be supported alongside this new, standalone installment.
