Soldiers of the Wasteland

Thanks to some very dedicated people at hellgate-resurrection.de and DivineDevil here on our forums, clear instructions on how to play the Hellgate: Resurrection open beta on Japanese servers are now available.

To play Hellgate: Resurrection, simply follow the instructions on our forums and you will be able to download and install the new free to play version of the game, connect to the correct VPN and create your game account. Once your account is created you can log in, update the client and once again re-enter the streets of London and prepare to battle a multitude of demons.

The main downsides to playing on the Japanese servers are the high ping and in game text being written in Japanese, however as there is still no definitive date or time frame when we can expect to see this game on English servers, this is your best option if you would like to play Hellgate online with others.

If you’re planning on playing Hellgate: Resurrection on the Japanese servers why not register on our forums so you can chat with those already playing the game, and meet up with them online for some group Hellgate action.

Maeyan, the Lead Developer on the Revival project, has announced that the project which was to port the game assets into another engine and bring back multiplayer capabilities, has been canceled.

Due to the overwhelming amount of work and time that would be required to complete the project, the team have scaled back their efforts to just continue to support and develop the single player modifications of the game.

At the moment the team are working on an SDK for Hellgate which aims to make the process of modifying the game easier for those who want to.

You can read Maeyan’s announcement on the Revival forums.

Thanks to thegreatcthulhu for bringing this news to our attention.

Apologies for not making this post sooner.

The Hellgate: Revival 1.2.1 patch has been out for some time now, I just never got around to uploading it here. Initially it was released with a few minor bugs but has since been updated and is now a stable build.

To see the patch notes for 1.2.1 (including those for 1.2.0) please see the related thread on the Revival forums. You may also download the 1.2.1 patch from that thread or from our downloads page.

At present, all signs are pointing towards the release of Hellgate: Resurrection (Hanbitsoft/T3 Entertainment’s re-release of Hellgate: London) in the US sometime in the near future.

But the name isn’t the only aspect of Hellgate that will be changed when Resurrection is released – we will see content from the unreleased Abyss chronicles and the new Tokyo update, as well as quest, game play, class and item changes.

So to keep everyone up to date with the changes associated with Hellgate: Resurrection, SotW member and Hellgate aficionado thegreatcthulhu has kindly posted a detailed FAQ on our forums listing answers to most of the questions you’re dying to ask.

It’s a good read and covers a lot of information about the game, but if there are more questions you want to know the answer to, simply register on the forums and ask!

HanbitSoft has announced that it has acquired the publishing rights for Hellgate: London in a number of countries including North America.

Hellgate: London will return to North America after it launches in a few other countries first. Hanbitsoft has said it plans to launch Hellgate in China, Taiwan, and South East Asia, Europe then North America, and finally Japan. The launch may entice old players back to the game with all of the additions made in the Korean version Hellgate: Resurrection.

No firm date has been put in place yet for when Hellgate: London will return to our shores (and PC’s).

To stay up to date with the latest news check out the thread on the forums. And if you plan on getting back into the game, why not register on our forums and get to know our community of largely ex-HGL vets- many of whom will also be getting back into the game as well.
