Okay, so listen up, fans of intense, team-based shooters! Team17 and Expression Games just dropped a bomb: Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is coming! If you're into huge, sprawling battles where communication is key, this might be your next obsession.

Imagine this: 50 vs. 50 warfare, but set during the Vietnam War. We're talking authentic maps, and hopefully, a respectful take on a really complex conflict. They're promising it'll feel like the original Hell Let Loose, but with a whole new level of toys to play with – think air support, naval combat, and those infamous tunnel networks.

What's New in the Jungle?

They're not just reskinning the old game, either. We're getting:

  • New Maps: Six new Vietnam-specific maps. I'm picturing dense jungles and rice paddies, perfect for ambushes.
  • Helicopters: Finally! Choppers for troop deployment, fire support, and recon. This could seriously change the battlefield dynamic.
  • Patrol Boats: Command those iconic PBRs. River warfare, anyone?
  • Tunnel Networks: This is huge. The Viet Cong's tunnel system was a nightmare for US forces, and it's going to add a whole new layer of strategy. Expect surprise attacks and sneaky flanking maneuvers.

I’m excited about the tunnels, since it brings a unique touch to the gameplay. The idea of navigating those claustrophobic spaces, never knowing where the enemy might be is just so tense.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is slated to drop in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store). So, it may take a while!

And don't worry, if you're still rocking the original Hell Let Loose, they haven't forgotten about you! Team17 says they'll keep supporting it with fresh content.
