Console players who are eager to check out the upcoming action-RPG Hell is Us will get a chance to do so next week, the devs have announced. After PC players already had their fun, console users will get a proper demo on Aug. 12, ahead of the game's launch.
As confirmed by Hell is Us developers The Rogue Factor, the action-RPG will launch a demo on consoles on Aug. 12, giving players on the PS5 and Xbox Series S and X a chance to try the game out ahead of release. PC players already had a demo run in June, which lasted for three weeks, and it's likely the same will happen with consoles (given that the game launches on Sept. 4).
It goes without saying that the demo will be free and available to anyone who wishes to play it.
In case you missed out, Hell is Us is a narrative-driven action-RPG set in a strange and mysterious country where you “discover the secrets of your past and deal with the repercussions of a mysterious calamity.” Military intrigue, shadow figures, and an unravelling world await players, alongside strong combat, branching dialogue, and, you guessed it, boss fights.
It's beyond a doubt one of the coolest-looking games we've had in a while, combining a lot of that militaristic Kojima-esque weirdness with modern action-RPG elements to create a hauntingly atmospheric title. It's also just around the corner, slated to release on Sept. 4 and open up the Fall release window, which is packed to the brim with awesome AAA and smaller titles.
If you're on console, do make sure you give it a try as of Aug. 12 and tell us in the comments whether you liked it (or not, I don't judge).
