New Look at Hell Is Us: A Civil War Tale of Identity & Ancient Mystery
During the Future Games Show, Nacon and studio Rogue Factor unveiled a new look at their action-adventure game, Hell Is Us, slated for release on September 4, 2025. The game follows Remy, who returns years later to Hadea, his homeland. He had been clandestinely taken from this land as a child, and it has since descended into chaos. Wearing a distinctive blue helmet, Remy seeks his parents, positioning himself as an outsider in his own land rather than a conqueror. Hell Is Us explores a profound question: Can one truly reconnect with their roots when those roots are intertwined with flight and abandonment? This quest for identity unfolds amidst a civil war, further complicated by the Calamity, an unexplained event that has caused bizarre creatures reminiscent of ancient Hadean stelae and monuments to emerge. To expand the Hell Is Us universe, Nacon is releasing a free 16-page digital comic book that serves as a prequel to the game’s storyline. Additionally, a demo is currently available on PC and consoles until August 28. Impressions from three months of gameplay are also available for those interested in learning more.
