Hell Let Loose is keeping the battles going, even when the sun goes down, thanks to its new update

Team17 and Black Matter have announced the next update for Hell Let Loose has arrived on PC, with a console date not yet revealed. Part of the Falling Dark update is the inclusion of night-time and low light map variants to the game.

Falling Dark is the most significant package of new content for Hell Let Loose since December 2021’s ‘Outflank’ Update 11. In addition to the immersive atmosphere of low light and night-time battles across five of the games’ collection of maps, Falling Dark sees Warfare and German Offensive game modes come to the iconic Omaha Beach map, which now also includes spawning points within landing crafts for greater authenticity. The new ‘precision strike’ Commander ability allows each side to call upon aerial support of iconic fighter planes, including the Ju-87 Stuka and P47 Thunderbolt, against entrenched enemies such as tightly knit infantry positions, exposed garrisons, and stationary vehicles, while the new ‘ammo drop’ ability delivers emergency stocks of medical supplies, ammunition, and explosives for soldiers.

As we love a good list here, here is an overview of the features and additions to the game with the new update:

  • Night Maps (Remagen, Foy, Purple Heart Lane, Hurtgen Forest, Kursk)

  • New Map - Remagen

  • New Commander Abilities - precision strike and ammo drop

  • New Weapon - Flare Guns

  • New Vehicle - US "M4A3 75w" Medium Tank

  • Reintroduced - German Panther Tank

  • New Camo - German Tiger Tank

  • Half-track MGs

  • Improvements to existing maps (Kursk, Omaha Beach)

  • New FX (blood hits, Artillery explosion and more)

The game is on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, but there is no date for the new update for the consoles yet.
