Famous World War II Shooter in Popularity Crisis Despite Patch
Bad things are happening in the shooter Hell Let Loose. The game is losing players and the latest patch has not been able to reverse, or even stop this trend.
World War II online shooter Hell Let Loose is going through a tough time.
- The number of players is steadily dropping. Currently, on average, the game is played by about 4,000 people at the same time. Daily activity records have also declined sharply. Just a few months ago they reached 13-17 thousand people, and now it is mostly 8 thousand and less.
- The current results are not yet tragic, but the downward trend should worry the developers.
Patch 14.3 did not help
The worst thing is that nothing has changed thanks to yesterday's Patch 14.3, which introduced many long-awaited fixes.
- Usually after the release of an update the game revived, at least for a while. However, yesterday Hell Let Loose did not see any increase in activity.
- Thus, players who abandoned the title did not even bother to check what changes the devs implemented.
The situation is exacerbated by the poor reception of the update. On the game's dedicated Reddit players complain about, among other things broken ultra-panoramic mode, strange appearance of some faces and new, sometimes funny and sometimes heavily annoying, bugs. It seems that the developers will have to release a hotfix quickly.
What the future holds for Hell Let Loose
However, it is not worth putting a cross on the project yet. A key role for the future of the game will be played by an upcoming updaten known as "British Rework", which is expected to thoroughly revamp the British faction. This update is awaited by many players, so we are curious to see if, after its release Hell Let Loose will be revived. The developers' further plans are even more ambitious and include, among others, the addition of a Polish army. So the devs will still have plenty of opportunities to reverse the downward trend.
The game is available on PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. The project was developed by Black Matter, but a few months ago the team abandoned that game in favor of a new title. The task of further development of Hell Let Loose was taken over by a new in-house team of publisher Team17.
