The folks at Flagship Studios can now breathe a sigh of relief because their debut hack n’ shoot title, Hellgate: London, has gone gold and is currently set for release on October 31st for the PC.
But don’t worry if you can’t wait to start slaying demons because a single-player demo has been released as soon as you have read this. The demo will feature two of the game’s six classes — the Blademaster, the Marksman and some quest trotting through London’s Holborn Station.
Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios, said, "This has been an amazing journey for us and we couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve accomplished. We’re anxious to get Hellgate: London into gamers’ hands and we can’t wait to play right along with them."
Here’s some general information about the game:
"Hellgate: London combines the depth of role-playing games and the action of first-person shooter titles, while offering infinite playability with dynamically generated levels, items, enemies, and events. Whether online or off, a player creates a heroic character, completes quests, and battles through innumerable hordes of demons to advance through experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell system, highly customizable appearances, and a massive variety of randomly generated equipment allow players to create their own unique hero."
