HanbitSoft, the Korean publisher responsible for keeping the MMOHellgate going in the East, has just finalized the purchase of all North American and European publishing rights for the series. What does that mean for you? It means Hellgate is back, baby.
The company has been talking about doing this for a long time, it just never really happened. HanbitSoft has owned the IP for Hellgate since 2008, it was just missing the regional publishing rights. Now that those are out of the way, you can step back into the creepy and often depressing world that will be renamed Hellgate: Resurrection.
“Hellgate: Resurrection is heading towards success in Korea such that we decided to push ahead with launching the game overseas next year,” HanbitSoft CEO Kee-Young Kim said. “We will do our best to get the game to the fans as soon as possible.”
