Rogue Factor's supernatural action-adventure expands its reach and deepens its combat as it hits a major player milestone
In a move that's sure to delight fans of challenging, exploration-driven action games, developer Rogue Factor has announced a substantial free update for Hell is Us, alongside the game's arrival on new platforms. The studio revealed that a staggering 2 million players have now braved the war-torn, Calamity-ravaged world, and to celebrate, they're delivering a wealth of new content and accessibility options.
The headline feature of this free update is a dramatic expansion of the game's combat ecosystem. Rogue Factor has tripled the number of unique Hollow Walker enemy types, introducing a host of new threats with distinct attack patterns that demand fresh tactical approaches. For veterans who have already mastered the game's challenging melee combat and drone mechanics, this means every encounter now requires a careful read of the fight, breathing new life into the experience.
The update is available automatically for all owners of the game on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. There's no need to manually patch or purchase anything—simply connect to your platform of choice, and the new content will download seamlessly. Rogue Factor has also released a new trailer showcasing these formidable new foes in action.
