Hellgate: London Returning to North America as Hellgate Global, Trailers

After occasionally playing on the Korean and Japanese servers via a VPN client over the last several months, I’m pleased to report that HanbitSoft and T3Fun are finally bringing Hellgate: London back to North America (in English!) later this year. There’s even a press release (locking down a beta testing period that starts on June 3rd), a teaser website, a cinematic trailer, and two gameplay trailers to prove it:

And the press release:

Hellgate Returns with Closed Beta this June

Hell is Back in North America

LOS ANGELES – May 19, 2011: T3 Entertainment, Redbana and HanbitSoft today announced the return of Hellgate to North America. The game will launch as a free-to-play MMO in closed beta from June 3rd to June 5th. A full launch is expected later this year. Information on beta access will be announced soon at: http://hellgate.t3fun.com/

Players are invited to return to Hellgate this June to fight for the survival of the human race. Join a party online to fight against evil with a team or play solo if you’re brave enough. Choose your character from six different unique class types and prepare for battle against creatures from hell. Arm yourself with a wide variety of weapons and armor and dismantle the ones you don’t need to obtain rare scrap metals. Enhance your weapons with upgrades and relics to have the best chance of survival.

When Hellgate returns, you better be ready.
