Hell Let Loose is a tactical multiplayer shooter set during World War 2 and developed by Black Matter. The game came from a Kickstarter campaign that raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Hell Let Loose was originally released on PC in June 2019, and it's been confirmed for release on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Thanks to some pieces of information released about the game's console launch, some PlayStation gamers have theorized it could be coming to PS Plus. While this hasn't been confirmed, there is enough evidence to suggest that it could happen.
The gameplay of Hell Let Loose consists of 50 vs. 50 multiplayer matches and features tactical action with real-time strategy elements. For a team to win, they must control every territory or control the majority of them when the match's timer runs out. Hell Let Loose was received generally well when it was released on PC, and it could find an audience on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. If the theory about Hell Let Loose launching on PS Plus is correct, some gamers won't have to pay anything extra to experience it.
Hell Let Loose and PS Plus' October Dates
The release date of Hell Let Loose on PS5 and Xbox consoles is one of the primary reasons some fans believe it will launch on PS Plus. It's expected that October's PS Plus lineup will be revealed on September 29, with the games becoming available on October 5. Hell Let Loose is set to be released on consoles on the same day, October 5. While this could be a mere coincidence, it's hard to deny there is a chance of it being released as part of the October PS Plus lineup. This alone, however, might not be enough to convince some gamers, and there is other evidence that could support this idea.
Hell Let Loose Preorders and Betas
While Hell Let Loose will launch on PS5 and Xbox consoles, there do seem to be some differences with its availability between consoles. On Xbox consoles, Hell Let Loose can be pre-ordered as normal, which is a regular practice for any upcoming game release. On PS5, it cannot be pre-ordered and it currently has a coming soon page on the PlayStation Store. PlayStation 5 owners will also be able to participate in its beta between September 16 and 20, while Xbox Series X/S owners won't have this opportunity. This could suggest that a deal has been brokered between PlayStation and the creators of Hell Let Loose. Being unable to pre-order it and the beta period indicates it's getting some special attention, and due to the dates lining up, many gamers have surmised it's going to be added to October's PS Plus lineup.
It's not uncommon for monthly PS Plus games to leak or for fans to figure out what's being made available. It's difficult to say with certainty if Hell Let Loose will be added to next month's lineup, as it could be a coincidence. With the dates lining up as they do and the apparent special attention the game is getting on PS5, however, it wouldn't be surprising to see Hell Let Loose announced to be a part of October's selection on September 29. With its release date set as October 5, there is a chance that fans could be on the mark with this theory.
Hell Let Loose is currently available on PC, and it's set to launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 5.
