Straight from IncGamers…
Hanbitsoft have taken a U-turn with the action RPG Hellgate London and revealed the game will continue.
Hellgate London was set to close down at the end of this month with Hanbitsoft pulling all online support. This evening Hanbitsoft issued a statement announcing the game will continue with full server support and future content updates.
Hanbitsoft are now citing the developers as Redbana US Studio following the demise of Flagship Studios and they will be in charge of developing future updates.
Focus will now be placed on “strengthening community features while maintaining the speedy and thrilling action game elements”
A large patch is planned and HanbitSoft plans “to combine the two game play modes, unifying the split two communities into one. Also planned are class balance improvements and differentiation of each of the 5 acts. Gamers who attended the conference applauded this announcement”.
Sensibly Hanbitsoft will be turning the game into a free to play model. This will please many players who thought the game should always have been based on a free to play model but may upset those who paid for a lifetime ‘Founders’ subscription when the game was originally released.
This came in an email from them some time ago.

So… Back to kill some demons? We’ll most likely see Patch 2.0 (The Abyss) soon…
