Mortain is the first map built from the ground up after the departure of Black Matter. We wanted to take the principles of how Hell Let Loose maps are currently built, continuing to honour the core aspects of how the level and art is made, but also improve on them wherever possible.
We have updated Foliage, which allows us to create dense luscious forestry areas without performance impact. Stories, references and documents from the time have been thoroughly researched, to recreate historically accurate buildings where possible, and give Hell Let Loose players a glimpse at what war was like for the soldiers during that period. We look forward to talking more about these features, our process and sharing information about the development of the map as a whole soon.
The team is incredibly talented and dedicated. We’re always listening to player feedback, so we are incredibly excited to get it in front of players when the time is right. But for now, please enjoy these images that give a preview of what you can expect from Mortain, and we look forward to being able to share, test, and play it with you all in 2024
