Team17 and independent development team Black Matter have announced that they are collaborating to bring the authentic WWII shooter Hell Let Loose to PC Early Access in 2019.
Hell Let Loose is a platoon-based realistic multiplayer first-person shooter set during the Second World War and built using Unreal Engine 4. Offering 50 vs 50 tactical battles with infantry, tanks, artillery and a shifting front line. Players must coordinate to capture sectors and resources to beat the opposition into submission, the game creates an epic theatre of war across huge maps. Authenticity is key, and players will be able to experience history using a realistic period arsenal, with accurate weapon behaviour.
Watch the Hell Let Loose announcement trailer below:
Black Matter, a development team based in Australia, Russia and the United States, have been working on the game since 2016 and completed a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017. During the Early Access period, the team will work collaboratively with the community to create the best possible multiplayer experience and will be regularly updating the game based on feedback. A roadmap of key content drops will also be made available when Early Access begins.

A Unique Meta-Game
