Rogue Factor’s highly anticipated sci-fi action RPG, Hell Is Us, has launched a new global demo, now available across multiple platforms. Players can try the game on Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S from August 12 until August 28, 2025.
This marks the second public hands-on opportunity for the title, following a limited-time PC-only demo released in June that was met with a largely positive response. The latest preview aims to give both PC and console players a closer look at the game before its official release on September 4.
Demo Availability and Details
Preview Start Date: August 12, 2025
Preview End Date: August 28, 2025
File Size: ~12 GB
Platforms: Steam, Epic Games, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S
The demo’s ~12 GB file size is roughly half that of the full game, giving players 17 days to explore its dystopian setting. As with the June demo, this hands-on preview is available for a limited time only.
A Fresh Approach to the Action RPG Genre
Hell Is Us has gained attention for its unique gameplay design, which removes traditional maps and mission markers. Instead, players are encouraged to freely explore its semi-open-world environment, uncovering story elements and objectives through organic exploration rather than guided navigation.
The game’s creative direction has already earned it a spot on over 33,000 Steam wishlists, with many praising its atmospheric world-building and combat mechanics. While some have compared it to Soulslike titles, the developer maintains that it blends genres rather than fitting neatly into one category.
Final Preview Before Launch
Priced at $50 USD for the standard edition, the demo offers potential buyers the opportunity to assess whether the game’s style and mechanics suit their preferences before committing to a purchase. This is particularly relevant for players who enjoy challenging combat systems but may be unsure about the game’s unconventional design choices.
This is expected to be the final playable demo before launch, and it is unlikely that a free trial will be offered immediately after release. Players interested in Hell Is Us are encouraged to take advantage of the current preview before it is removed from all platforms on August 28.
