Hell is Us has been a long time coming, with the 3rd-person melee-focused action-adventure title first being announced back in 2022 with a 2023 release year. Following a lengthy delay, the Nacon-published title was re-revealed last year alongside a September 2025 release date. Thanks to the extra dev time, the team at Rogue Factor have managed to finish the game well ahead of its (renewed) schedule – as Hell is Us has now officially gone Gold.

Making the announcement on their Steam page, the team at Rogue Factor wrote: “After years of work, countless creative decisions, and a lot of passion poured into the game… Hell is Us has officially gone gold.”

For the uninitiated, ‘Going Gold’ means that the ‘Hell is Us’ master disc has been submitted to the game’s publisher. After this, discs can then be pressed with finalised software and digital storefronts can upload the 1.0 version of the game ready for release.

It’s a process that every game in development goes through, and means that (aside from post-launch patches) Hell is Us should be complete and ready to play.

Of course, this does not mean that the game will be free from any issues, with the likes of Star Wars Outlaws having also gone Gold roughly two months out from its release.

That said, everything we’ve seen from Hell is Us so far appears pretty positive. Hopefully the game manages to meet expectations when it launches on the 4th of September.
