Flagship Studios, founded by the creators of the hugely popular Diablo franchise, stay true to their action-packed roots with their premier game, Hellgate: London.

Players can view the game from both first- and third-person perspective and arm themselves with over 100 magical and sci-fi weapons. Hellgate: London was designed with Flagship's philosophy of "random generation", which allows players countless hours of replayability as no two game play experiences are the same.
