There are a lot of Zombie games out right now, but what about a game that practically IS a zombie? Remember Hellgate: London? That game created by Flagship Studios, an off-shoot by developers of the Diablo franchise from Blizzard? Well Hellgate failed and had lots of drama over it’s ownership. It appears HanbitSoft finally won the IP battle (we assume there were some causalities) and has announced they’ll be bringing the gates of hell back to the States.
Press release:
HanbitSoft Inc., announced today that the company has obtained the publishing rights for Hellgate in North America, Europe and Japan from NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.. HanbitSoft and NAMCO BANDAI Games America, the formal owner of the publishing rights in these regions, have entered into an agreement for the game to be distributed by HanbitSoft in the future.
Nice! Not really too many other specifics as of yet, but this game had a lot of potential before it was buried alive. Will HanbitSoft be able to make the game great? Well, that remains to be seen. The game has already been re-activated in Korea as Hellgate: Resurrection and is steadily gaining account memberships. How will it fair here again? We’ll see.
