Announced as the most ambitious project of the Montreal studio, hell is us is a 3rd person action-adventure game in a semi-open world where the protagonist goes in search of his origins in a country in the throes of civil war. In this land cut off from the world, supernatural creatures reminiscent of ancient stelae and monuments in the region have begun to appear. If the citizens curse the sky talking about a Calamity, the player is equipped with weapons (swords, spears, axes) specially forged to fight these monsters. His drone will also have a role to play, although we do not yet know how.
The philosophy of Rogue Factor with this title seems in any case well defined. “Our goal with Hell is Us is to bring adventure and exploration back to life. No need for a detailed quest log or precise indication on the map of the areas to explore: we want players to feel the breath of adventure, guided by their reflection and their instincts“, comments the creative director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, whose words will undoubtedly find an echo while the Elden Ring madness has not yet died down. Developed under Unreal Engine 5, hell is us is aiming for a 2023 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
