Gamespy has been talking about Hellgate: London ever since 2005 and each time they see it they come away a little bit more excited. They told you about the spectacular post-apocalyptic London setting and about how the game is designed to let you play it any way you want to. Now they've managed to get a good chunk of hands-on time with the game and they're ready to talk all about it.
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.
Please, please be the Diablo 3 I have craved for years...
