It feels like the end of an era, albeit one plagued by drama, disappointment and failed aspirations. History has finally closed the chapter on Hellgate: London.
The servers have shut down. The game is over.
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.
Rest in Peace.
Dont let the gate hit you on the way out !!! Yeah i know lame joke , for a lame game .
Such a shame, I saw this on the shelf at a Circuit City last week. Hope nobody bought it, they'd be in for one hell of a surprise if they did!
I think there may well be a twitching limb or two...
