Hellgate: London making its triumphant return

Recommended Videos

It’s not every day you see the servers for a multiplayer game get turned back on after a period of total silence. In the case of Hellgate: London, the situation is even more special than that — a completely new company (HanbitSoft) is the one responsible for the game’s return.

Originally developed by Flagship Studios, the new and (hopefully vastly) improved game that’s been worked on by T3 Entertainment since 2008 has undergone a slight change in name. Make a mental note of Hellgate: Resurrection.

Movies with “resurrection” in the title generally aren’t very good. Does that rule apply to games too? I hope not. Anyway, the real news here — apologies for the massive amount of backstory — is HanbitSoft’s acquisition of worldwide publishing rights for Hellgate from Namco Bandai.

If you thought you were safe from the game because you aren’t living in Korea, think again. North America and Europe will both be getting another taste of Hellgate soon enough. Are you ready for it? I need more prep time!
