Post-apocalyptic knightly fps-crpg Hellgate: London has been marked for release mid-2007, per this announcement on gamingindustry.biz:<blockquote>Electronic Arts, Chertsey UK. - January 8, 2007 - Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) and NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. today announced a summer 2007 worldwide ship window for the highly-anticipated online action RPG Hellgate: London®, the first original PC title from premier developer Flagship Studios.

"We are all committed to making Hellgate: London absolutely the best game possible," said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. "The anticipation surrounding the game is immense and we are looking forward to its launch being a truly worldwide event."

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. The 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.</blockquote>Spotted on Blue's News.
 
Throw another shitty piece of shit shit on the barbi, mate. But look, it's Doom meets Underworld: fighting demons with chainguns and oh-so-hot-and-sexy English babes clad in tight black leather. Christ, is there ANY game that doesn't reek as bad as a greasy taco fart in this day and age? One nerdy blast-fest after the other. And overheating graphic cards. And sheer boredom.
 
Bioshock and Hellgate coming out at the same time!?

:crazy: ...overstimulation... :freak:

Meh. We probably wont be seeing either till winter '08 is my guess.
 
Want the game to suck more? Be ready to pay for its online service according to shacknews.

In addition to yesterday's announcement that Hellgate: London will be shipping in Summer 2007, developer Flagship Studios revealed this week that the game's multiplayer component is a subscription-based online service.

So Guild Wars is an MMO without the MMO fees, and Hellgate: London is not an MMO with the MMO fees. Confusing.

This has been denied by Roper. According to him they've made no decision on fees
 
I don't know, even the consideration of it puts a lump in my throat. They must have some incredible online plans for the game if that's the case.
