Release time for Hell Is Us and when you can take down its surreal, supernatural baddies

Hell Is Us, a bizarre and surreal game, is set to land soon for many, but PlayStation players are in luck as they can access it right now.

The gaming world always needs its oddities, and Hell Is Us seems more than happy to venture into the strange and bewildering for an experience that leaves you with more questions than answers. A mysterious disaster has struck a country on a war-torn and divided Earth, and suddenly, it's up to you to battle eerie supernatural creatures to uncover their origins and put a stop to it once and for all.

It's a fascinating predicament to be thrown into, and since the game's unveiling at the September 2024 PlayStation State of Play, potential fans have been captivated by the peculiar world, often compared to Death Stranding for its strange, hard-to-define surrealism. It's also quite a violent game, offering a wide array of weapons for you to use against your enemies, even though you'll never truly know what to expect around the next corner.

Regardless of how the game pans out and whether it can live up to all the intrigue it has stirred among gamers, we're fortunately not far off from experiencing Hell Is Us first-hand. It's a silver lining for us, but probably not so much for developer Rogue Factor, as they've unintentionally timed the launch of Hell Is Us with the release of Hollow Knight, which after its lengthy anticipation could become the most poetic game drop in history.

It's not exactly the best scenario for Hell Is Us, but there's optimism that the audience overlap is minimal enough that both titles will avoid any financial fallout.

So, when exactly does the game launch? Here's what you need to know about the Hell Is Us release time.
