When everyone thought it was over, it's back. Flopped and shot in an early grave, Hellgate: London is being revamped and renamed Hellgate: Resurrection and put back on the shelves - at least in Asia.
There are also rumours about an EU/US revival.
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
There's enough of a following for it to sell enough, IMO. Good news!
hmm, i never really got into that one. maybe ill give it a shot this time around.
Besides being buggy as nothing else, I thought it was very fun to play. More content is really all it needs. I do wish the game all the best, and hopefully a US/EU release!
Well, lot of people will get the deja vu from getting flagshipped, but that samurai templar armor looks neato.
