Hell Let Loose Update Brings Tons Of New Content To Xbox Next Week

Hell Let Loose has definitely proved a hit on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S since its next-gen launch last year, and now it's finally getting its first proper update on Xbox (and PlayStation) in the form of "Update 1" on Tuesday, May 17th.

There's a lot of stuff included in this update, so we've added all the upcoming content in a list at the bottom of this article, but in a nutshell, we're looking at new maps, new weapons, new equipment, new vehicles, and much more.

The developer says "this update brings us one step closer to full parity with PC content," and the release "is extremely important to our ability to merge both workstreams and continue forward with development across the title."

You'll also find a statement on Reddit in regards to the timing of this update and the current conflict in Ukraine.

"The first content update for Hell Let Loose on console encompasses a bulk of new material, including — Soviet forces, maps, weapons, vehicles, and much more for you to enjoy out there on the field! We’ve even crammed in some extra content — expanding your arsenal with the M97 Trench Gun, FG42 rifle, and a host of extra maps to muddy your boots in!"
