Background from the previous time dealing with the story, because after 30 years’ Hellgate two ‘mobile’ Hellgate ‘and’ Hell Gate 2 “Online is the mid-point of 1.5 can be said.

Based on this view of the world that ‘Hell Gate 2’ s mobile and online versions of the previous genre succeed.

And then there’s a list of factoids over at Hellgate Resurrection:

– The game is being developed for both the PC and mobile platforms (Android?).

– The android(?) version will feature much of the same stuff you find in the PC version. It will apparently be a “prequel” that takes place in London 30 years prior to the demonic apocalypse. It will be mostly a TPS that uses touch screen elements.

– The game is apparently meant to be played via both versions. For example, if you do something in the mobile version (beat a boss), you can then use it to boost your character in the online version. Furthermore, “hidden content” can be unlocked for the PC version via playing the game on the mobile version.

– To further emphasize this, you can use your characters in both versions of the game. You also can access your storage, guilds, achievements and other features across both versions of the game.

– The PC version may or may not also be part of the prequel storyline. It will still take place in London. It has been developed using the Unreal 3 Engine and Havok. It will feature better graphics, improved lighting and more destructible objects than in Hellgate: London/Global.

– The game is being mentioned as a: “TPS”. There are mentions of melee action, but the label “ARPG” is sorely missing from the descriptions.

– Six classes will be playable in both versions of the game. Presumably the 6 from HG:L will be returning.

– The mobile version of the game will be previewed/released later this year. There isn’t any given date on when the PC version will be previewed/become available.
