Hellgate: London Interview

FiringSquad has tossed up a two-page interview with Flagship Studios’ Bill Roper, quizzing the CEO about the team’s highly anticipated action RPG, Hellgate: London.

Q: What are a couple of the more exotic weapons and items that players will have access to in the full game?

A: We’ve created some pretty crazy equipment for Hellgate: London that ranges from organic weaponry to swords made of arcane energy to massive (area 51) style weapons. The armor designs are broken down by faction so that the Templar look like knights from the future, the Hunters super-sleek spies, and the Cabalists are edgy and dark. We’ve tried to give each faction a specific look and feel that is reflected across their equipment, both in fashion and function.

A good example of a distinctive weapon is the Beetlebore. This Cabalist weapon fires out genetically altered and magically imbued beetles that swarm and devour their target.
