EA and Namco Bandai have officially kicked off the North American pre-order program for Flagship Studios’ much-anticipated Hellgate: London. By pre-ordering either the standard or Collector’s Edition version of the game, you’ll get three perks: an access key to an exclusive beta that starts next week and runs to October 7th, one of four exclusive dye-kits to color your character’s gear with, and the option to purchase a lifetime subscription to the game’s premium online service for a hefty $149.99 as part of the Hellgate: London Founders Offer. Hellgate: London is scheduled to ship this Halloween. Swing by www.hellgatelondon.com for a short Q&A concerning the pre-order program and answers to a few other frequently-asked questions.
“We’re excited to get our most passionate players into the early Beta test, and to reward them with a special look once the game goes live on Halloween,” said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. “The Founder’s offer is designed for those die-hard fans that will have had time to really get to know the game during the Beta phase and plan on spending a lot of time with us online.”
