00:01I have a thousand questions
00:04Why did you come back?
00:06I stood in the home I was born in
00:09In that moment
00:10I felt a connection
00:14What happened here?
00:17Madness and hatred
00:18And lots of it
00:21Impossible
00:23It's you
00:25You must continue
00:26We've begun to uncover
00:34Hi everyone
00:35I am Jonathan Jacques Belletet
00:37I am the creative director
00:38And the art director on Hell is Us
00:41Here at Rogue Factor
00:42So today I'm super excited
00:44Because we're going to show you
00:45Some brand new gameplay
00:46Some new sequences
00:47And some new tidbits from the game
00:49That we've never shown before
00:50Hell is Us is a third-person
00:53Action-adventure game
00:54That blends the old-school thrill
00:55Of exploration and discovery
00:57With a deeply satisfying melee combat system
01:00You're going to wield a lot of different weapons
01:03Master various skills
01:04And strategically use your drone's abilities
01:06To gain the upper hand in battle
01:08But combat is only 50% of the experience
01:11The other half of the game
01:13Is all about the exploration
01:15The discovery
01:16The joy that's related to them
01:17And how they play a central role
01:19In your journey
01:20Do you know where the village of Jova is located?
01:23It's in Akasa Marshes
01:25It's quite a ways from here
01:27So you play as Remy
01:29And you're returning to the country you were born in
01:31The country is called Hadea
01:32And search for answers
01:34But only to find that
01:35The land is torn apart
01:36By a vicious civil war
01:38With only a few pieces of information
01:40To start with
01:41So you'll have to investigate
01:42To uncover the truth about your past
01:44And figure out where to go next
01:46But unlike traditional games
01:48Hell is Us
01:48Doesn't rely on quest markers
01:50Or a guided path
01:51There's no magical compass
01:53Pointing you in the right direction
01:54And there's no quest journal
01:56With you know
01:56The shopping list
01:57Of everything that you need to do
01:58And in which order
01:59But instead
02:00Our player plattering approach
02:02Encourages you
02:03To follow your own instincts
02:04Discover clues organically
02:06And chart your own course
02:08Through the adventure
02:10In this sequence
02:11We just arrive at a village called Jova
02:13This is the village where Remy was born
02:15He remembers that
02:16He also remembers one more clue
02:18Which is
02:18His father was the blacksmith of Jova
02:21So these are kind of like
02:22The earlier
02:23Or the earliest clues
02:24That you have in the game
02:25In order to decide what to do
02:27Where to go
02:27Who to talk to
02:28And how to chart your own path
02:30Into trying to find your parents
02:38Hey
02:40Who are you?
02:41I'm Rebecca
02:41I've been hiding here
02:43Since the attack on Jova
02:44When the bombs fell from the sky
02:47I was playing in the treehouse
02:49With my baby brother
02:51The parents ran out
02:53And screamed at us to get down
02:55My baby brother ran to them
02:58That's when the bomb exploded
03:02So I'm looking for the blacksmith
03:04Do you know where he is?
03:06I don't know him very well
03:08I think he doesn't like kids much
03:11I saw some villagers leaving
03:13With the, um, O.N. peacekeepers
03:15On their white trucks
03:17Maybe he went with them
03:20Hey, did you see where the white trucks went?
03:22I watched the white trucks drive away
03:25They took the road
03:26That turns behind the hill
03:27With the ancient monuments
03:30We can see them from here
03:58So as you saw
03:59We just learned that the blacksmith
04:01Probably left with one of the humanitarian convoys
04:03From the organized nations
04:05Which are the peacekeeping forces
04:07Stationed in the country
04:08We've also found a map
04:09That appears to show a route
04:11Coming out of the Akasa marshes
04:13So we'll stop here for now
04:15We've gathered a few clues
04:16We have a bit of an idea
04:17Where to go next for our investigation
04:19We've shown you how things work
04:21A little bit
04:21And how you can connect the dots
04:23But, uh, you know
04:24I want you guys to discover it for yourself
04:26When a game comes out in September
04:31In this section
04:32We're stepping away from the main investigation
04:33To explore the many hidden secrets
04:36And side investigations
04:37Scattered throughout Hadea
04:38You can complete the game
04:40Without ever uncovering them
04:41But if you're curious and observant
04:43You might just stumble upon
04:45Some incredible discoveries
04:48Our core philosophy is simple
04:50If your instinct tells you
04:51There's something to do
04:52Then there probably is
04:55The footage you're seeing now
04:56Showcases just a few of the many secrets
04:58Woven into Hell is Us
04:59These are playful examples
05:01Of how the game handles
05:02Secondary investigations
05:03But they perfectly illustrate our approach
05:09I'm only permitted to play
05:11Sabinian classics, I'm afraid
05:13Unfortunately, I only happen to know
05:16One of their dreadful compositions
05:21There are countless mysteries
05:22Waiting to be uncovered
05:23If you trust your instincts
05:25You'll find yourself solving
05:27Some truly fascinating mysteries
05:28Along the way
05:30Now, when we talk about player plattering
05:32It doesn't mean you'll constantly need
05:34To overthink every step to progress
05:37Many elements will be clear and intuitive
05:39As our belief is that
05:41You actually don't need quest markers
05:42To navigate and advance in the adventure
05:44That being said
05:46For those who love a challenge
05:48Some of these deeper secrets
05:49Will require keen observation
05:51And deduction to be uncovered
05:53Good luck
05:58Take another look at the sequences
06:00We've just shown in this video
06:01And share with us
06:03Your first ideas
06:04On how to solve this last secret
06:06Let's see who can connect the dots first
06:08I rationed his milk as long as possible
06:10But ran out yesterday
06:13Poor Uli is starving
06:15I don't know how I can possibly get any more
06:24Thank you all so, so much for tuning in
06:27We hope you enjoyed this new look at Hell Is Us
06:30We're so passionate about our game
06:32And we've worked so hard on it
06:34The game launches on September 4, 2025
06:37On PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC
06:40See you soon for more exciting news
06:48To be continued
06:49Grazie a tutti.
