A large-scale tactical shooter from Expression Games and Team17 that trades the WWII front for the Vietnam War. Pick the US Armed Forces or the North Vietnamese Army, drop into 50 vs 50 battles, build tunnels, fly helicopters, and win through communication and teamwork.
What is confirmed about the launch — public signals only, no speculation.
The core idea, in plain English.
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a realistic, squad-based first-person shooter built around teamwork and a chain of command. Two sides of 50 players fight across six large maps inspired by real locations — dense jungle, rivers, rice paddies, hills, and beaches. There is no single-player campaign; every match is a live 50 vs 50 fight where the win comes from holding sectors, not from your kill count.
The Vietnam setting changes how you move and fight. You can swim, climb, and fast-crawl, drag wounded teammates out of the line of fire, build tunnel networks as the NVA for ambushes, and call in US helicopters and patrol boats. Roles run from Rifleman and Medic to Tank Commander, Pilot, and Mortar Gunner — 17 roles across six battlefield units.

No. It is a pure multiplayer tactical shooter: every match is 50 vs 50 with no campaign. You need an internet connection and a squad mindset.
