*1st BETA will begin on the weekend of April 5th; there will be 2 more following that BETA before Early Access launch on June 6th.

Next month’s BETA marks the first time Hell Let Loose will be playable for those who have pre-ordered the game and features a brand new map: Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, the location of a critical military engagement between the American 101st Airborne Division and the German Wehrmacht on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The beta also features the sprawling Hürtgen Forest map, where a series of fierce battles between American and German forces were fought on the Western Front during the winter of 1944.

Hell Let Loose is a teamwork-based brutal multiplayer first-person shooter set during the Second World War and built using Unreal Engine 4. Offering 50 vs 50 tactical battles in which players must coordinate to capture sectors and resources to beat the opposition into submission, the game creates an epic theatre of war across huge maps. Authenticity is key, and players will be able to experience history using a realistic period arsenal, with accurate weapon behaviour.

Black Matter has been working on the game since 2016 and completed a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017.
