Hellgate: London, the action/RPG as a subscription-free game, is returning to Europe and the US. The game is now called Hellgate: Resurrection and will relaunch first in China, Taiwan, and South East Asia, followed by the game's return to North America, Europe, and Japan.
"We would like to thank Namco Bandai Games America for allowing us to acquire the Hellgate publishing rights and are thrilled to have eager gamers worldwide return and enjoy the franchise," said Kee-Young Kim, CEO of HanbitSoft.
The newly named Hellgate: Resurrection has been in development with T3 Entertainment since July 2008, with new features added and a free-to-play business model.
"Hellgate: Resurrection is heading towards success in Korea such that we decided to push ahead with launching the game overseas next year. We will do our best to get the game to the fans as soon as possible," added Kim.
"We are pleased to participate in the revitalisation of Hellgate through this agreement and are deeply gratified to allow Hanbitsoft to take the lead on this franchise and bring this game to the people who seek it," added Zack Karlsson, senior director of business development at Namco Bandai Games America.
