Developer Rogue Factor initially announced a major update for the action-adventure game Hell is Us, scheduled for October 8. This update was intended to address player feedback regarding enemy variety by adding ten new ‘Hollow Walkers’ and was set to coincide with the game’s launch on the Nintendo Switch 2. At that time, the developer reported the title had reached 1.5 million players. Following a delay caused by logistical and distribution issues that were “out of our control,” the Nintendo Switch 2 version and the accompanying major update for all platforms—including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S—were rescheduled for October 27, 2026. Rogue Factor maintained that the game remained ‘technically solid, stable, and ready’ from a development standpoint. However, the release schedule has since shifted again. The digital release of Hell is Us for Nintendo Switch 2 has been moved up to October 8, reversing the previous postponement. While the digital version is now available immediately, the physical edition remains scheduled for release on October 27. The major update for all platforms will be released alongside this launch. As of October 7, Rogue Factor has released patch 1.8, the major update across all platforms. This patch includes the ten new ‘Hollow Walkers’ and introduces technical fixes for memory corruption issues in save systems and various map collision bugs. Originally released in September 2025, the game features a semi-open world set in the land of Hadéa and is characterized by a lack of traditional navigational aids like quest markers. For the Switch 2 launch, publisher Nacon plans to offer a standard edition for 59.99 € and a Deluxe Edition for 79.99 €. With the release of patch 1.8, the new ‘Hollow Walker’ enemies include winged creatures and fast-moving dual-blade opponents.
