What do we already know about Hell Is Us?

Hell Is Us is being developed by the developer studio Rogue Factor (including Mordheim: City of the Damned), under the creative direction by the former Deus Ex art director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, who also worked on Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy alongside Deus Ex.

Jacques-Belletête describes his ambitious project as follows:

“Our goal at Hell Is Us is to bring back true adventure and exploration. There is no need for a detailed quest log or an exact waypoint on the map: we want players to feel the thrill of adventure, guided by their feelings and instincts.”

Nevertheless, Hell Is Us is about not a fully-fledged open-world game like Elden Ring or the Assassin’s Creed games. Instead, the players move in a semi-open world, i.e. several large areas that are connected to each other.

In terms of content, everything revolves around one person civil warwho devastated the land. While parallel strange beings emerge that are immune to conventional weapons. As a player, it is up to you to clarify these occurrences and learn more about the origin of the beings.
