IncGamers.com reports that Hanbitsoft is patching Hellgate: London for their users, igniting life into the 3D first/third person shooter action RPG. Unfortunately, this patch does not include all regions where the game is sold.
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.

They actually are. It'll be a VR game. Not sure what Hanbitsoft is thinking. Supposedly Hellgate is doing GREAT in Korea, but not-so-much outside of it besides a fan revive called Hellgate: 2038. I'd actually love to see Bandai and the creators of DOOM team up for another rumble against Hell's forces.
You and me both, Lon3wolf. I want a full new game or a REALLY good remaster. I think in today's market, it'd actually do a lot better under the proper team.
It's still alive, haha. There's a fan revival currently going on that just entered Open Alpha. I've actually tried it out. It's actually pretty solid and their servers are definitely as good as you'd hope for a private server.
the atmosphere is incredible. f they remade the game with todays graphics but kept the actual look and feel of the game i would spend a ton of money on it. Engineer baby!!
It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.
You can actually play it today! The fan revival has been a solid experience for me so far (aside from getting a good disc off Ebay or Amazon).

Just a note, you will need to make an account on their site, use a disc to install, and proceed from there.
Gasp, and everyone thought it was dead.
Well, the game wasn't really bad, it was just released too early, and as Bill roper said in that interview, they just tried too many things at once. Skipping the subscriber part of the game might have saved it from the start!
Bring it back to the west!
i played the beta and it was cool i thought. i never experienced many bugs but it did seem very unpolished and not worth charging per month for which is what killed them.
