Hell is Us Demo hits consoles, returns to PC for round two

There's a level of confidence required to put out a demo this big, but the team at NACON and Rogue Factor are doing exactly that. Starting right now you can check out Hell is Us on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and the Epic Games Store  

Our Editor Henry Viola also pulled together a quick run through of the demo to showcase it running on PlayStation 5. Let's check it out!

The demo is the first chapter of the game, giving you the first 90 minutes or so of the game to set the tone. There are even a few secrets to uncover for those who do a bit of digging beyond the surface. If you're just catching up on Hell is Us, here's a quick bit about the game:

If war is the closest we get to hell on earth, it's because Earth harbours the worst of demons: humankind. In an isolated country ravaged by infighting, discover the secrets of your past and deal with the repercussions of a mysterious calamity.

Hell is Us is a 3rd-person action-adventure game that combines intense melee combat with the thrill of exploration. Explore a semi-open world to find answers to your questions and face mysterious creatures all along your journey.

A HOSTILE WORLD

As well as the civil war dividing the country, the region is suffering from a mysterious calamity, which has given rise to supernatural creatures that no modern weapon can defeat. Your drone and sword from a different age are your faithful allies as you cut a path through lands infested with terrifying chimeras and try to unravel the mystery of their appearance.

A UNIQUE EXPLORATION SYSTEM

No map, no compass, no quest markers: following your instincts is part of the adventure. Enjoy a unique experience that uses innovative writing and level design to let you make your own decisions and follow your instincts as you explore. Your discoveries are yours alone.

COMBAT AGAINST ORIGINAL CREATURES

Swords, spears and axes: a wide range of weapons forged specially for fighting these supernatural creatures is available. You will need to learn how to fight these monsters and use your drone wisely to stay alive.

You won't have to wait too much longer to experience it for yourself – the game is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Epic Store and Steam on September 4th 2025.
