Hell Is Us Update 1.8 Patch Notes: 10 Hollow Walkers and Fixes

Hell Is Us Update 1.8 launched on 8 October 2026, adding 10 new Hollow Walkers alongside fixes for the save system and places where players could get stuck. The patch arrived on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as the game launched digitally on Nintendo Switch 2.

The extra enemies are the biggest reason to return to Hadea, particularly if you thought you had already seen everything the game could throw at you. There are some useful technical fixes as well. Here’s what Rogue Factor actually changed, including the complete patch notes and Steam build number.

Hell Is Us Update 1.8 patch notes: every confirmed change

Rogue Factor’s October 8 update includes the following changes:

• 10 new Hollow Walkers added to encounters throughout Hadea.
• Save system: fixed a memory corruption problem affecting saves.
• Collision: repaired several map issues that could trap the player.
• Additional bugs: various other fixes, which the studio did not list separately.

That is the complete official change list for Hell Is Us Update 1.8. The developer hasn’t announced additional quests, weapons or difficulty options as part of this patch.

What are the 10 new Hollow Walkers?

Rogue Factor added the new enemies after hearing complaints about variety. You will now encounter more Hollow Walkers while travelling through Hadea, giving familiar areas and fights something new to offer if you are returning after a break.

According to Nacon, the idea is to make players adapt their fighting style. A combination of Lymbic abilities and KAPI drone modules that worked against one enemy may not be the best answer to another. The ten additions are included with the update on every supported platform, without a separate paid enemy DLC.

The Hell Is Us Update 1.8 notes don’t give each Hollow Walker a name or identify its exact spawn location. There is also no special unlock quest mentioned. Install the patch and continue exploring Hadea to encounter the expanded roster.

Does the patch fix corrupt saves?

Yes. One of the named fixes addresses memory corruption affecting the game’s save system. That’s a significant improvement for anyone who has experienced problems with progress being saved.

There is one catch: fixing the cause of a problem doesn’t necessarily restore a file that was already damaged. Rogue Factor hasn’t said that Update 1.8 recovers older corrupted save files. If a save still fails to load after Hell Is Us Update 1.8, make a note of the error and your platform, then contact Nacon support if the problem persists.

Which collision bugs were fixed?

Several collision problems across different maps have been fixed. These could leave Remi physically stuck in parts of the scenery, sometimes preventing you from moving on normally.

The studio hasn’t named the affected maps or individual trouble spots. If you’ve had that problem before, revisit the location after installing Hell Is Us Update 1.8. If you can still get trapped, note the area and what led to it, as that detail will help when reporting the issue.

Did any other bugs or trophies get fixed?

The final patch note mentions additional bug fixes without naming them. It doesn’t specifically confirm that every troublesome trophy, missing item or investigation softlock has been repaired. Players waiting on a particular fix should look for an explicit mention rather than assume their issue is covered.

One separate change worth knowing about is the Guardian Detector improvement. That arrived in Update 1.7 on 23 July, allowing the detector to find remaining Lymbic Entities once a Timeloop is closed in an area. It was already live before Update 1.8.

Hell Is Us Update 1.8 release date and Steam version

Hell Is Us Update 1.8 was released on Thursday, 8 October 2026. The Steam build reported by Rogue Factor is 1.8.125.51687. That’s the PC Steam identifier, not a version number guaranteed to appear exactly the same in a console’s update menu.

The update came alongside the digital Nintendo Switch 2 edition. The 27 October 2026 date that appeared in older release reports applies to the physical Switch 2 edition. It wasn’t a delayed patch date for existing players. Nacon confirms the different dates for digital and physical copies in its support FAQ.

How to install the update

On Steam, open your Library and make sure any pending Hell Is Us download has finished before starting the game. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, check for an update through the console’s game menu if it hasn’t installed automatically.

There’s no extra activation process for the added Hollow Walkers mentioned in the notes. Once you’re running Hell Is Us Update 1.8, the new enemies and fixes are part of the game. If you were waiting for October 27 before checking for the patch, you can download it now.
