Hellgate: London will officially make its return to North America tomorrow, but as of this morning you can already download the 5.5GB client from the T3Fun website. To celebrate, GameBanshee has shared ten closed beta keys that are available on a first come, first served basis.
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
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.
Writing the codes down like that is a dumb way to distribute them. Seriously.
Probably like 1000 people are gonna put those codes in and 990 of them will have their time wasted.
