HanbitSoft will take all necessary action to secure the Hellgate: London and Mythos intellectual property rights and calls Flagship Studios "selfish and irresponsible", according to a Korean interview.
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.
Flagship just got b*tch-slapped.
"Selfish and irresponsible"? Sounds like little kids fighting over something.
Can I ask if this game was any good?
I mean we are talking about the old D2 team here - just because Hellgate wasn't the greatest in the world doesn't mean they don't have the potential to crank out another big one.
The founding members fired everyone to protect their own selfish interests.
