Hell's Gates to Open on Halloween

EA and Namco have announced a release date for their eagerly anticipated RPG, Hellgate: London. U.S. players will get to spend Halloween hacking their way through a demon-infested London, while European players will have to wait until November 2.

Bill Roper, CEO of the game's development house, Flagship Studios, said, "Halloween was the perfect fit as it ensures that Hellgate: London will have an appropriate amount of beta testing, while also being an incredibly fun time to unleash the game."

Hellgate: London features a single-player game, a free online cooperative game and will give players access to huge amounts of content on an ongoing basis in the form of quests, character classes, demons and items via a paid subscription service.
