"In breaking news, Korean news website TheGames.co.kr reports that HanbitSoft is taking full control over the Hellgate: London intellectual property from Flagship Studios."
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.
Whether it's a zombie apocalypse, nuclear fallout or the good old-fashioned apocalypse, gaming has been talking about how the earth will end for a long time
This story is a lie and the update clearly states that.
Why would anyone want to purchase the intellectual property rights to a game that received mediocre ratings?
They need to wash their hands of that mess, and move on.
This is a fake story FYI.
It's too bad, but maybe it's for the best. Flagship could never devote the resources this game needed to fully realize its potential. If HanbitSoft wins the legal battle before too many subscribers abandon the game, I'm hoping they can revamp and relaunch Hellgate. There really was some good stuff there, but it just never jelled for me. I feel bad for the "lifetime" subscribers.
