Hell Let Loose Dev Tracker

Good morning everyone,

We’ve pushed Hotfix 2 on all platforms. This addresses the missing hedgerows in Sainte-Marie-du-Mont and the Admin message pop-up issue:

• [SMDM] Hedges are missing on the map after Update 15
  
• [RCON] Message player pop-up doesn't register required keyboard input

U15 on PC comprised some night maps that still need further preparation for release. We have removed:

• Utah Beach Warfare Night
  
• Omaha Beach Warfare Night
  
• Hill 400 Warfare Night

These maps will launch in future content updates on all platforms when completed.

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

Hello everyone,

Update 15 has deployed on all platforms!
This update brings Mortain to Hell Let Loose – a new map and exciting environment to experience for all modes, based on the US defence of the French town of Mortain.

Mortain is our first map release; a significant milestone for us, created and refined with your feedback. Your dedication to Hell Let Loose helps us deliver content that serves an authentic WW2 experience. We’re delighted to see you all jump in and play today!

We’ve also updated Sainte-Marie-du-Mont – increasing overall playable space around the town to produce a better gameplay experience. Delving into these changes below, you can see how we’ve provided more routes in and out of the capture point, creating more viable outpost/garrison options and flanking opportunities.

Two new Skirmish mode maps are now available to play: Mortain and SMdM

Update 15 deploys a fresh experience to Hell Let Loose with Mortain, a new map for all modes! Created and refined with help from the community, Mortain sits in a shallow valley – where the US rallied against German troops amid Operation Lüttich. The battle took place in August 1944, in Normandy, France.

During Operation Lüttich the town was destroyed, left in ruins with only a few buildings standing – which features in Mortain.

Offering a plethora of notable locations – both historical and natural – Mortain features themes of contrasting areas throughout. Rock formations permeate the map alongside hilly areas of countryside and farmland.



Update 15 releases April 25th for Hell Let Loose on Steam.

"We built a f***ing minefield in Hell Let Loose" - SoulSniper, 2024

Created by our War Correspondent SoulSniper, Mission Minefield will transform an innocent wheatfield into a truly terrifying and explosive minefield.

On May 25th from 8pm EST - 10pm EST squads will compete against each other in Mission Minefield, to see which squad can get the most soldiers through to the other side in one piece.

Squad Leaders will have to navigate the minefield without knowing where the mines are, and use move markers on the map to direct each member like pawns on a board game - what could go wrong?

Hello everyone,

Patch 14.8 – British Forces Rework Part 2 and the launch of Skirmish, is now live on all platforms.

This update completes the British rework phase of development. We decided to expand on the initial release of the British forces last year following a swath of valuable feedback. After two content updates comprising overhauls, we feel confident in the enhancements and improvements to transform this portion of the game. Thank you for your assistance in helping us accomplish this!



We’ve also implemented a new game mode, Control Skirmish. Based on feedback from previous PTEs, we’ve focused on refining our ‘seeding’ (rebranded to Control) game mode which originally featured on Foy and Kharkov.

Skirmish is a gateway experience for new players of Hell Let Loose. This game mode allows players to get straight into the action and experience some of the core mechanics of Hell L... Read more

Hello everyone,

Welcome to our Mortain-focused dev brief, highlighting various changes and implementations thanks to your feedback.

Mortain is a new map for Warfare, Offensive and Skirmish gamemodes. This map is based on the US defence of the French town of Mortain, which sits in a shallow valley – where the US rallied against German troops amid Operation Lüttich. The battle took place in August 1944, in Normandy, France.

In this dev brief, one of our Senior Environment Artists will cover enterable buildings, provide additional context on Collégiale Saint Evroult and La Petite Chapelle Saint-Michel, discuss the environment; foliage and more. We want to be as transparent as possible when it comes to our development process on new maps – and we hope this provides useful insight into what it entails.

Mortain is due for release after part 2 of the British Rework.

Our goal for this testing period is to gather your feedback on the latest iteration of Skirmish – thanks to your feedback – on Driel and El-Alamein. In addition, we want your thoughts on how the new tanks function in Warfare; the historical accuracy of upcoming DLC and your impressions on some new weapons.
