Team17 Announces Hell Let Loose: Vietnam at Gamescom 2025
Cologne, Germany – August 20, 2025 – Team17 has officially announced the next installment in the Hell Let Loose franchise, unveiling Hell Let Loose: Vietnam during Gamescom 2025. This marks the first original project in the series developed under Team17’s ownership, following their acquisition of the IP in 2023.
The reveal trailer gave fans a first glimpse of the shift in setting, moving the tactical realism of Hell Let Loose from the battlefields of World War II to the dense jungles and waterways of Vietnam. New vehicle additions were teased, including helicopters, boats, and tanks — a first for the franchise. While specific gameplay details remain under wraps, the trailer hints at major expansions to the franchise’s combined-arms warfare.
A Rocky Reveal
The announcement didn’t come without some drama. A day before the official Gamescom presentation, the trailer was accidentally leaked on YouTube. Though quickly set to private, a low-quality version was saved and circulated on the Hell Let Loose subreddit. The uploader, known as Tatertot, declined to comment on the leak, leaving fans to speculate about how it slipped out early.
Community Reactions
The news has sparked mixed emotions within the community. Some players voiced concerns about Team17’s history of delivering infrequent content updates for the original Hell Let Loose. Others are skeptical about whether the studio can fully capture the Vietnam War setting while supporting the existing player base.
Still, the prevailing mood across forums and community hubs is one of cautious optimism. Many fans are eager to see the franchise evolve into a full-fledged series, with Vietnam acting as the next major step.
Looking Ahead
For Team17, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam represents an ambitious move to redefine the milsim space and expand the scope of the series. While questions remain about ongoing support for the original title, the announcement has already generated significant buzz in both the milsim and broader gaming communities.
At Qonzer, we’re excited to see where Team17 takes the series and look forward to continuing our support of the developers as they embark on this new chapter.
