Hellgate: London Goes Free To Play
Hellgate: London has seen better times. The shooter has literally been under death’s shadow over the past couple of weeks as news spread that its servers were going offline. IP owner HanbitSoft is breathing new life into the game as it announces that it will continue running and maintaining those servers. What’s even better is that the title will now become free-to-play.
Hellgate: London will apparently continue on as a free-to-play title according to IP owner HanbitSoft, reports Gamasutra. Namco Bandai planned to pull the plug on the servers January 31, but HanbitSoft asserts the game will push forward. Forward and upward, allegedly, as the Korean publisher plans to update the game and strengthen community features.
HanbitSoft is also working on a patch to fix balance and class issues, which means that development for the game will continue. The company is obviously seeing potential in the failing title. Will it share those plans with us soon? No one knows, but for now, just enjoy the game’s resurrection.
