Hell is Us Coming out on September 4th, 2025!
The gaming world is abuzz with anticipation as publisher Nacon and Canadian developer Rogue Factor officially announced the release date for Hell is Us during PlayStation’s February 2025 State of Play. Mark your calendars—this gripping third-person action-adventure game will launch on September 4, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Pre-orders are already open on the PlayStation Store, with Xbox and PC pre-orders coming in the following days.
A Dark and Mysterious Journey Awaits
Previously teased in a hauntingly atmospheric trailer, Hell is Us now delves deeper into its enigmatic plot. The latest footage introduces players to Rémi, the game’s cryptic protagonist, while also unveiling the eerie world he must navigate. As he embarks on a quest to uncover his origins in a country devastated by civil war, players will encounter supernatural creatures unlike anything seen before—monstrous beings resembling ancient tombstones and monuments that guard the nation’s darkest secrets.
The narrative-driven experience promises a Player-Plattering approach, a gameplay philosophy that eschews intrusive markers and HUD elements in favour of organic exploration. This design choice encourages players to trust their instincts, observe their surroundings, and unravel the mystery on their terms—a refreshing take that harks back to the golden age of adventure games.
The Voice Behind the Mystery: Elias Toufexis Joins the Cast
Adding to the excitement, Hell is Us enlists Elias Toufexis—a veteran of the gaming and television industries—to bring Rémi to life. Toufexis, widely recognized for his performances in Star Trek: Discovery, The Expanse, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, and most notably, as Adam Jensen in the Deus Ex series, lends his talents to craft a layered, enigmatic protagonist.
“I'm delighted to join my friends on Hell is Us,” said Toufexis. “Rémi is a fascinating character—he may appear cold or distant at first, but as the game unfolds, players will discover the depth of his past and the events that shaped his personality. The world of the game is incredibly immersive, and I can’t wait for players to experience it firsthand.”
Interestingly, Hell is Us also marks a reunion between Toufexis and Jonathan Jacques-Belletête, the game’s Artistic and Creative Director. Jacques-Belletête previously worked on the Deus Ex franchise as an Art Director, making this collaboration an exciting prospect for fans of immersive storytelling and compelling world-building.
A Bold Step Forward for Rogue Factor
Montreal-based studio Rogue Factor has been pushing boundaries since its founding in 2013. Known for crafting mature, thought-provoking gaming experiences, the studio aims to deliver a distinctive and unforgettable adventure with Hell is Us. Combining intricate melee combat, unassisted exploration, and a deep, thought-provoking narrative, the game is shaping up to be an ambitious new IP that refuses to hold the player’s hand.
The developers promise a unique blend of combat and discovery, where weapons must be carefully wielded against terrifying supernatural foes. Armed with specially forged weaponry, Rémi must learn to master his tools to survive the horrors lurking in the shadows.
