Flagship Studios First Project Title Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the better-sounding-than-heckgate dept.

Voodoo Extreme has newsbits from around the interweb about Hellgate: London, the first title in the works at Flagship Studios. The home of well known ex-Blizzard employee Bill Roper is crafting a title that sounds a lot like the Blizzard hit Diablo. From the article: "The game is set five years after a war against demons has already been lost. London is depicted as a burnt out shell of itself. The demons are in the process of "hellaforming" earth to make it more suitable for their kind. A handful of humans have survived."

    It would have been nice to see some screenshots, concept art, or something. All I know is it's going to be a lot like Diablo II, according to some people.
    They just say "Well, it's an RPG set in hallasized London. ANTICIPATE!"
    Ooooh. I can't wait to... Do... Something. In London. I'm glad they released so much information on the game mechanics.

    This story reports in detail about the history of this company we've never heard of, and gives us info on a game we've never heard of. =)

    The article also explains why we don't have screenshots. Because PC Gamer has the exclusive on those.

    John. Romero. Daikatana.

    Roper wasn't exactly the gaming genius behind Diablo.
