In short, if you are a fan of the original Hell Let Loose, you will no doubt be best pleased with what’s said to be on offer here.

Fans of Rising Storm 2: Vietnam and Battlefield: Vietnam will be eager to try out a new game set during the time period of American involvement from 1965 to 1973, as it’s one of the more unexplored conflicts of the 20th century in video games.

Now, let's get down to those key facts, starting with the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam release date.

You can also take a gander at all the upcoming games in 2025 and beyond to see what can fill up your gaming schedule between now and the Hell Let Loose: Vietnam release date!

Which consoles and platforms can play Hell Let Loose: Vietnam?

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will be available to play on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

This is the same as the original Hell Let Loose, which also featured 100-player matches with vehicles on big maps, making a last-gen release impossible.

For those same reasons, the game would probably not be able to run on the Switch 2, as it requires a powerful CPU to run a game with so many moving parts.

If you intend to play Hell Let Loose: Vietnam on PC, you can pick it up from Steam, the Epic Games Store or the Microsoft Store.

Much like the original Hell Let Loose, HLL: Vietnam features 100 players in 50v50 matches with infantry and vehicles. This time, however, there are boats that US forces can use, with maps being “carefully designed around extensive river networks”, according to HLL: Vietnam’s official blog post from the developers.

The North Vietnamese Army will also be able to “construct extensive tunnel networks across the battlefield”, which “expand on the existing Garrison system from Hell Let Loose”.

Much like Rising Storm 2: Vietnam, there are also helicopters. Air power in the original HLL was limited to airstrikes and supply drops, which were only called in by your team's commander.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam will launch with six maps, which feature terrain such as “dense jungles, rice fields, beaches, rivers, and rolling hills”.

The developer interview YouTube video above goes into some extra detail about the team’s vision for the game, come 2026.

Is there a Hell Let Loose: Vietnam trailer?
