Hell is Us Release Date Leaked Ahead of Rumored PlayStation State of Play

A recent leak has revealed the release date for Hell is Us, sparking speculation that the game might make an appearance at PlayStation's rumored State of Play event later this week. The last major showcase for Hell is Us was during PlayStation's September 2024 State of Play, where the game’s first gameplay footage was revealed. Now, with rumors swirling about another State of Play on the horizon—according to insider NateTheHate—fans are anticipating more news soon.

Hell is Us is a third-person sci-fi action-adventure game that emphasizes organic exploration and intense melee combat in a dark, atmospheric world. Unlike many modern games, it forgoes traditional waypoint markers and maps, encouraging players to uncover the world’s secrets on their own. This unique approach, combined with the game’s distinct sci-fi aesthetic, has led many to draw comparisons to Death Stranding. Since its gameplay debut, there's been ongoing debate among fans about whether Hell is Us fits into the Soulslike genre, as certain combat elements resemble mechanics seen in similar games.

The game is slated for release on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in 2025, but a new leak suggests we may now have a precise date.

Hell is Us Release Date and Deluxe Edition Details Leaked

According to PlayStation Game Size, a well-known leak source on Twitter, Hell is Us is set to release on September 4, 2025. Additionally, an $80 Deluxe Edition will grant early access starting on September 1. This Deluxe Edition reportedly includes exclusive cosmetics for the protagonist Remi and his drone, an in-game investigation mission, a digital art book, and the game’s original soundtrack. These details were also briefly visible on the Xbox Store in a now-deleted listing, lending further credibility to the leak.

If this information holds true, Hell is Us will have the latest confirmed release date of any major game announced so far this year, surpassing Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, which is set to launch on August 28, 2025. September typically marks the beginning of the Fall gaming rush, and with Grand Theft Auto 6 reaffirming its 2025 release window, it’s possible Rockstar might target an early Fall release, similar to GTA 5's mid-September debut in 2013. Launching close to such a massive title is a bold move for Hell is Us, especially with GTA 6 looming in the latter half of the year.

Will Hell is Us Appear at the Next State of Play?

While a State of Play is heavily rumored for later this week, PlayStation has yet to officially confirm the event. Even if it does occur, there’s no guarantee that Hell is Us will be featured again, despite its appearance at the last showcase. However, fans eager for more details should stay tuned for any announcements from PlayStation in the coming days.
