The gates of Hell are opening again for everyone. Hell Let Loose: Vietnam’s open crossplay playtest is here.
Team17 and Expression Games have announced military FPS fanatics will be able to jump into 50 vs. 50 battles this weekend with a playtest which will kick off today, July 24, at 2pm BST across PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. The goal? To test the large-scale shooter ahead of its definitive August 13 launch and to put as much pressure as possible on the servers and cross-platform infrastructure.
This playtest, which is open to everyone who wishes to participate in the carnage, takes place on the brand-new Đắk Tô Airfield map.
“November 1967 saw the start of the Battle of Đắk Tô, an attack on a key US airfield base and surrounding hilltop fortifications in the central highlands of South Vietnam. The focal point of the base is its long, stretching airstrip, allowing nearby armor and recon units to take advantage and dominate the area. Impact craters and destroyed vehicles are strewn along the runway, caused by the constant bombardment of artillery strikes.”
Players can “request access” to the playtest on Steam the moment it goes live, and PS5 and Xbox Series X/S users can search for it on their respective stores around the same time. The dates and times are as follows:
- Start Date/Time: Friday, July 24, 2PM BST / 6AM PDT
- End Date/Time: Monday, July 27, 2PM BST / 6AM PDT
Additionally, the developers at Expression Games have shared Part 1 of a lengthy Q&A titled The Command Post. You can watch it below:
