Hellgate Halloween
It´s true: Hellgate: London will be shipping to US stores this Halloween. A fitting date, no? While the summer season was our initial release window, we just want to make sure the game is perfect before all of you get to play it. That means a few extra weeks of testing and balancing, but we think you´ll agree it´s for a cause that´s worth it. We´ll have a few more announcements in the coming weeks regarding preorders and our Collector´s Edition, but suffice it to say that you will be pleased. That?s not an assumption.
As mentioned, we´re hammering away at the game, and the Alpha is going well; bugs are getting squashed, servers are getting stable, and we´re all losing sleep (in a good way). Trish just got married as well, and we´re super duper excited for her! We also have the first Flagship baby on its way from Jung, our graphic design guru, so it´s good feelings all around. Stay tuned for more, but for those who care, here´s the full press release...
