Expression Games announced an upcoming roadmap for the Hell Let Loose community via their Discord, Steam page, and website. If you would like a look at the official orders, Soldier, you can hoof it on over to their Website, here.
The roadmap features a community vote for the next map update, a new game mode, weapons/vehicles/combat updates, and ongoing improvements.
Looks like it might shape up rather nicely. Stay safe, silent, and well, Soldier! “War is hell.”

Upcoming Roadmap
We are excited to deliver an early present for the Hell Let Loose community this festive season.
As we approach the end of 2025, we wanted to share our upcoming plans for Hell Let Loose. Next year is shaping up to be a big one for the franchise, and that is certainly true for Hell Let Loose.
Here is what you can expect from our upcoming development cycle:
New Maps and Map Update
Juno Beach
Our first new map sees the Canadian Forces join the battle, as they land on to the sands of Juno Beach, battling their way inland as part of the Normandy D-Day invasion.
Lake Balaton
Our next new map takes us to Hungary and the Battle of Lake Balaton in 1945. This map depicts Germany’s last major offensive of the war; Operation Spring Awakening.
Remagen Refresh
Map Refresh As part of the new roadmap, we will also be revisiting one of our iconic maps; Remagen, with an important refresh planned for this brutal battlefield.
Community Map Vote
We want to give the community the opportunity to vote on the third new map of the year. Cast your vote using the Community Vote Form. You have until 1st January 2026 to have your say.
The two options are:
Option 1: Metz
- The Battle of Metz took place between 27th September – 13th December 1944 (part of the Lorraine Campaign).
- A Western Front battle between the US Forces and the German Forces.
- A brutal, protracted fight for the outskirts of the city of Metz. Combined with flooded rivers, tough to navigate woodlands, and fortified medieval fortresses.
Option 2: Seelow Heights
- The Battle of Seelow Heights took place between 16th – 19th April1945.
- An Eastern Front battle between the Soviet Union and the German Forces.
- This was a brutal, decisive Soviet assault on the last major German defences before Berlin, with heavily defended entrenched positions.
Be sure to get your vote in before the poll closes on 1st January 2026.
New Game Mode
We are currently hard at work on a new large-scale 50v50 game mode called Conquest. We cannot wait to share more details on how this mode will work in 2026, and will give you more info on when you will be able to playtest the mode.
Weapons, Vehicles, and Combat Updates
We are looking to expand the weapon pool, with new weapons planned for multiple factions.
Alongside new weapons, we are also exploring the addition of new vehicles on the frontlines. We will also continue updating the Armor class and iterating on our recent artillery additions; SPAs. Expect more information on these changes as the year progresses.
Ongoing Improvements
As always, we will continue to focus on gameplay improvements, significant quality-of-life upgrades, and bug fixes across all platforms.
We spend a lot of time reviewing community posts and discussions, and your feedback plays a key role in shaping the improvements we focus on. This will be especially true for the next roadmap cycle, and we cannot wait to hear what you are most looking forward to in the comments and discussions below.
For those looking to expand their collection, we will also continue enhancing player inventories with historically accurate DLC items.
We have so much more planned for Hell Let Loose and cannot wait to dive into more detail on our plans in the new year. If you have any questions about upcoming additions or changes, or ideas for what you’d to see in the future, let us know on Reddit, Discord, Steam and our Hell Let Loose social channels.
