Hell Let Loose is a 2021 multiplayer tactical first-person shooter developed by Expression Games and Cover 6 Studios, and published by Team17. The game places players in iconic World War II battles across the Western, North African, and Eastern Fronts, focusing on platoon-level combat.
Black Matter, an Australian studio led by Maximilian Rea, created the title. Rea initially unveiled it through a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017 that raised a total of . The game was first released for Microsoft Windows as an early access title on 6 June 2019, and then fully launched two years later in July 2021. It was later made available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 5 October 2021. In January 2022, Black Matter sold the game to its publisher Team17 for £31 million, with a potential additional sum of £15 million depending on performance. Shortly after December 2022, development was transferred to Team17, who then established Cover 6 Studios at the start of 2023 to handle ongoing development and possibly future titles in the series. In April 2023, Team17 engaged the UK studio Expression Games to continue working on the game.
On 20 August 2025, a new Hell Let Loose title was announced. Titled Hell Let Loose: Vietnam, it is set during the Vietnam War, featuring two main factions—the North Vietnamese and Americans—fighting between 1965 and 1973. It released on August 13th 2026.
