Strike terror into the hearts of demons and devils as you fight your way through eight Hells.

Part human, part demon, and obsessed with vengeance. Become The Unknown, and fight through the fiercest domains of Hell. Destroy the demon hordes and their leaders to set yourself up for an epic showdown with The Red Judge herself.

Every legend has a song. And yours is one of metal, vengeance, and destruction.

Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm FPS, where your ability to shoot on the beat will enhance your gameplay experience. The more in sync you are with the rhythm, the more intense the music will become and the more destruction you will cause.

Defeat the demon hordes with a skull-clad blade or a wide range of murderous guns. Each weapon has its own ultimate ability, such as Murder of Crows or The Big Goodbye.

Publisher Funcom and developer The Outsiders are thrilled to unleash the Metal: Hellsinger demo to the world on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam.

The demo proves the difference between playing the game and watching gameplay: to truly experience Metal: Hellsinger, one must feel its jolting rhythm at the tips of one’s fingers. 

Players across the world can now groove to the killer beat of Alissa White-Glüz’s vocals in the demo level and chase that leaderboard high score. The best way to understand Metal: Hellsinger is to experience the pulsating gameplay firsthand, and now everyone can! Blast through the Hells, shooting, dashing, and performing takedowns on time to the thunderous beat of a searing original soundtrack by composer duo Two Feathers, performed by some of metal music’s most celebrated contemporary vocalists.  

“The time has come, friends. We are so happy to be able to finally make the demo available to everyone so you can feel the Metal for yourself.“ said The Outsiders Creative Director Dave Goldfarb.

Attending the Summer Game Fest, the headbanging rhythm shooter also revealed a September 15 release date and the start of console pre-orders, which are bundled with 48-hour Early Access.

Stare into the Hells with today’s new gameplay trailer, with a developer introduction from The Outsiders and in-game music performed by System of a Down’s Serj Tankian and Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Glüz.
