Hello Everyone,

Update 17 has deployed on all platforms!

This update brings the release of the brand new Tobruk map, Dynamic Sandstorms and some Quality of Life Improvements!


The Second Siege of Tobruk was a short lived battle set in Tobruk - Libya that saw the capitulation of the British defences, within a single day. Set on 20th June of 1942, the Second Siege of Tobruk featured the successful campaign of the Deutsche Afrika Korps against the British 8th Army, as the harsh summer sandstorms rolled in. Aside from the close-quarters combat of the city proper, the map also features various caves, aptly named the “Desert Rat Caves” after the defenders of Tobruk, who were often referred to as the “Rats of Tobruk”.

Tobruk comes with the following game modes:

• Warfare
  
• Offensive British
  
• Offensive German
  
• Control Skirmish

Hello everyone,

We hope you've had a great start to the year! We've just pushed a new build live for U16 comprising the following fixes:

• [VOIP] Disconnecting and Reconnecting the headset will cause the Voice Channels to lose the functionality
  
• [EGS] The Invite Menus from the pause menu are incorrectly placed
  
• [EGS] The game has the EAC icon as the Desktop Icon

We're still finalising the 2025 roadmap, with news to follow as soon as it's ready to share!

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your continued support throughout 2024! We really appreciate the content and feedback you share with us daily.

Now that Update 16 has been released, we have delivered all content stipulated on the 2024 roadmap! It’s been an enjoyable year for us working on Hell Let Loose.

We began by wrapping up the British Rework, refreshing El Alamein and improving Update 14’s overall content. Console players received the long-awaited server browser, which allows players to select which maps/modes they want to play and, of course, relieves us of the challenge of selecting a map rotation that appeals to everyone.

We built two maps from the ground up, beginning with Mortain. From there, we took key lessons and applied them to Elsenborn Ridge, which also featured our new dynamic weather system first introduced in the Purple Heart Lane refresh. The positive feedback for Elsenborn Ridge has been wonderful to read, we thank you for sharin... Read more

Thank you! Exciting years ahead for Hell Let Loose.

Hello Everyone,

Update 16 has deployed on all platforms!

This update brings the release of the brand new Elsenborn Ridge map, the anticipated Freelook Mechanic, a Dynamic Weather system, along with multiple QOL and bug fixes.



Elsenborn Ridge was a less-documented but integral battle nevertheless in the Ardennes ‘44 campaign of WW2. Set in the Belgian region of Büllingen, just 40 miles away from Foy, the U.S. valiantly tried to hold their position in the small village of Wirtzfeld. With territory having exchanged hands multiple times between the U.S. and German Forces, the U.S. was eventually driven out of Wirtzfeld, and onto the Elsenborn Ridge, where they dug in throughout the brutal December period of 1944, having been forced to abandon crucial ammo and fuel stores near the village.

The map joins the battle between 16-26th December 1944 with the U.S. Forces having established their defensive ne... Read more
