'''Hellgate: London''' was announced via an exclusive article in the computer magazine PC Gamer in March 2005 following months of teasing concept art for an unknown game.

[[Flagship Studios]]' first title was formally released October 31, 2007 as an action role-playing game [[ARPG]] in the same vein as the Diablo games, but with the twist of being played in 3D, primarily from a first-person perspective.

The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic demon-infested London, following a great battle between demons and humans. The developer was careful to point out that the game experience would be nothing like that of regular first-person shooters, but with much deeper RPG content in the form of e.g. random quests, and where a character's combat efficiency is more determined by statistics than player reflexes. In addition, the game featured random levels, uncommon in games of similar perspective and scale.

Expectations from the game were high, as earlier games the developers have been involved in, especially titles from [[Blizzard Entertainment]], have become best sellers with few exceptions. However it received mixed reviews, and complaints by many gamers that the game was released in an unfinished state, which was later admitted by CEO [[Bill Roper]]. The company no longer owns the intellectual property rights to Hellgate: London.

HanbitSoft currently owns the game, and is developed it for the Korean market. Any buyer of the game in EU/US are now unable to play due to lack of servers. Namco Bandai currently own the license for EU/Us, but are not using it at all.
