Announcing Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

 

everplay group plc, a leading global independent ("indie") games developer and
publisher of premium video games, working simulation games and children's
edutainment apps, is pleased to announce Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, which is due
to launch in 2026 on Xbox, PlayStation, Epic Game Store and Steam.

 

Team17 launched Hell Let Loose, a first-person, multiplayer shooter game set
during World War II which requires players to work together to defeat the
enemy, and subsequently acquired the IP in 2022. Hell Let Loose continues to
be a highly successful title for the Group having generated in excess of $100
million lifetime revenues. Community engagement remains exceptionally strong,
with reported revenues reaching record levels in 2024 and CCUs 1  (#_ftn1)
peaking at over 144k in 2025.

 

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will offer players the same high-calibre gameplay,
with an authentic, atmospheric and historically sensitive experience of events
that occurred during the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1973. Retaining the
gameplay base that players loved from the first title, this brand new
experience will see players utilising combined arms, with air, water, armour,
infantry and support weapons, encapsulating the theatre of war loved by fans
of the original title. Developed in partnership with Expression Games using
the Unreal Engine 5, new features will include fully operational helicopters
for troop deployment and fire support, iconic US patrol boats and more
dramatic terrains and guerrilla warfare combat set across six new Vietnam set
maps.

 

The Group is also happy to confirm that players of the original Hell Let Loose
game can expect more new content and continuous support throughout 2026 and
beyond.

 

The development of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is directly aligned with everplay's
stated strategy to increase the weighting of its first-party IP and support
its core evergreen franchises through lifecycle management, to drive long-term
value and growth through the development of sequels, additional content and
other commercial opportunities.

 

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam was revealed at the Future Game Show. Team17 continues
to work in partnership with Expression Games on the Hell Let Loose franchise,
and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is available to wishlist now on Xbox, PlayStation,
Epic Game Store and Steam.

 

Frank Sagnier, Interim Executive Chair of everplay, commented:

 

"Today's announcement reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding our
portfolio through new content and sequels built around our most successful and
enduring franchises. Hell Let Loose is one of our most iconic own-IP titles
with a loyal global fanbase, and Hell Let Loose: Vietnam represents a bold
step forward for the franchise, delivering an all-new experience for fans.

 

"We remain focused on both the development of new IP titles, alongside
managing the lifecycle of games within our existing portfolio, particularly
our first-party IP and evergreen franchises, to drive improved returns. We
have an exciting pipeline of games scheduled for launch in H2 2025 and into FY
2026 and we look forward to sharing more in due course."
