Recent leaks from PlayStation GameSize, which seems to have access to PlayStation’s backend systems, have revealed new details about the upcoming game Hell Is Us. According to a tweet from PlayStation GameSize, the standard edition of the game is set to release on September 4, 2025, while the Deluxe Edition—priced at $80—will be available starting September 1. Similar information has also appeared on the Xbox Store, adding credibility to these leaks.
The Deluxe Edition of Hell Is Us comes packed with exciting bonuses. Players who preorder this edition will get early access to the game 72 hours before its official release at no extra cost. They’ll also receive an exclusive cosmetic items pack for the protagonist, Remi, and his drone, KAPI. Additionally, the Deluxe Edition includes several in-game packs:
- The Hollow Walker Pack: An exclusive skin for Remi and KAPI.
- The Military Pack: Another exclusive skin for Remi and KAPI.
- An exclusive investigation scenario: A unique mission to dive into.
- The Art Pack: A digital artbook and the original soundtrack.
Hell Is Us is a third-person action-adventure game that blends intense melee combat with exploration. Set in a semi-open world, players will navigate a region devastated by civil war and supernatural disasters. The game introduces a unique challenge: modern weapons are useless against the terrifying chimeras that roam the land. Instead, players must rely on an ancient sword and an old drone to survive.
One of the standout features of Hell Is Us is its exploration system. The game doesn’t provide a map, compass, or quest markers, encouraging players to trust their instincts as they uncover the world’s secrets. This design ensures that each player’s journey is unique, with discoveries that feel personal and rewarding. The combat system is equally engaging, offering a variety of weapons like swords, spears, and axes, all specially crafted to fight supernatural enemies. Players will need to master these weapons and use the drone strategically to overcome the game’s challenges.
Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, the Creative Director of Hell Is Us, has highlighted the game’s deeper themes, stating, “The central theme of Hell Is Us is that human violence is a perpetual cycle fueled by human emotions and passions.”
Hell Is Us is set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, on September 4, 2025.
