This year’s epic fall/holiday lineup has been bolstered by yet another game-of-the-year-caliber title today, as EA and Namco Bandai have finally confirmed the long awaited release date for Hellgate: London. Hellgate: London, the RPG/FPS hybrid from the Diablo creators at Flagship Studios, will ship for the PC in North America on October 31st (November 2nd in Europe), giving gamers a sweet Halloween treat to look forward to.
“We wanted to hit the sweet-spot for release in terms of the development schedule and delivering the highest-quality game to our players,” said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. “Halloween was the perfect fit as it ensures that Hellgate: London will have an appropriate amount of beta testing, while also being an incredibly fun time to unleash the game.”
When it ships, Hellgate: London will offer a robust single-player campaign along with compelling online multiplayer action, both free play and a subscription-based service providing new and evolving content to explore on a regular basis. More specific details on the online features are set to be divulged soon, we’ll let you know as soon as any new info surfaces. Here is a pair of screenshots commemorating the Halloween release date.
