Hellgate: London Available on Steam

If you’re looking to shoot some demons while roaming the post-apocalyptic streets of London, you can now purchase Hellgate: London on Steam for $9.74 or your regional equivalent (including a 25% launch week discount). This new release is brought to us by HanbitSoft and offers a single-player Hellgate experience without a cash shop or microtransactions present in the Korean online version of the game. You can check out this Steam announcement for additional details on how the game was adjusted for single-player. Have a look:

Heroes,

This day has come! We are happy to announce that HELLGATE:London is finally released! Once again, we want to extend our thanks for all the attention and love you have been showing for past 3 weeks.

As the game is out, we have one more announcement to make. We hope for your kind understanding on this matter.

As it was mentioned before, HELLGATE: London Steam Version has the latest update client of the Tokyo Version, which has all improved UI / UX / Content.

However, due to internal circumstances, Tokyo content is temporarily unavailable in order to provide you with a smooth gameplay. Once stability of the Tokyo Main Quest is settled, you will receive a notice for FREE UPDATE. Until then you can still enjoy playing London, Stonehenge, Second Attack and Abyss maps.

*In addition to what has already been mentioned, game doesn’t contain cash-shop or mictrotransactions. Items can be purchased with palladium obtained by hunting monsters. Further update of the Tokyo Map will also be available at no charge.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

But if you’re interested in playing the game with your friends, it looks like you’ll have to wait for the unofficial London 2038 mod.
