According to a post on the official Hellgate forums, Namco has stepped in to save the Flagship game being washed away in the wake of the developer's demise.
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.
Let's take a look at the loot-based shooter that started it all and set the path for Destiny 2 and the Borderlands franchise.
It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.
Could they save Mythos also? Pretty pls Namco?
I have never heard of any company doing something like that.Nice work Namco.Be sure to save Mythos too
This is cool news. Great job Namco. I wonder if Namco would think about bringing Hellgate:London to the PS3 and 360 too. Plus if Namco can save Mythos too and even bring that game to the 360 and PS3 even if it would not be free I would be down with that.
