Less than a year after its initial announcement, Team17 has confirmed that Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will launch on June 18, 2024. However, players eager to experience the chaos of the Vietnam War can sign up for the upcoming open beta, scheduled from May 29 to June 1.
Team17 made the announcement today alongside a new trailer, which showcases intense combat scenarios featuring soldiers from both sides of the Vietnam War. The footage highlights dense jungles and sprawling rivers, demonstrating the game’s transition from World War II fronts to the treacherous terrain of Indochina. The trailer is available here.
Closed Beta Feedback and Open Beta Details
A closed beta test was conducted a few weeks prior. While fan reactions were mixed, many praised the game’s atmosphere and tense gameplay. However, some players noted technical issues, including bugs and quirks affecting audio and visual clarity.
For those who want to experience Hell Let Loose: Vietnam firsthand before its official release, the open beta will run from May 29 to June 1. Players can sign up via this link, though access is expected to be widely available without prior registration.
What Makes Hell Let Loose Stand Out?
Hell Let Loose has long been regarded as one of the best first-person shooters, particularly among fans of military simulation and realistic titles. While it doesn’t emphasize realism to the same extent as games like Arma or Squad, it delivers an immersive experience through mechanics such as:
- A short time-to-kill (one shot is often enough);
- A minimalist heads-up display (HUD);
- Grounded movement for enhanced realism.
The sequel maintains these core features while shifting to a more modern setting, promising the same level of intensity and immersion.
