Hellgate London: What’s to Come in the Future

IGN has just posted up an article on Hellgate London which details what is to come in the near future for Hellgate London, as detailed by Bill Roper. While it talks of the Halloween event that is known to us all, there are two bits of information that are new.

Immediately following the Halloween event ending on the 4th of November is a Guy Fox Day event starting on the 5th of November since it’s a British holiday and the game takes place in London. The event will focus around explosives and some events designed around the Gunpowder Conspiracy Plot and some special gear like the Fox Flame Guards which will add some more flaming gloves to your character if you’re lucky enough to find them.

Some of the new areas planned into the future include areas a little outside of London. These “wilderness areas” are all about open air to get people away from the cities. One of the zones shown in concept art was Stonehenge, which in the world of Hellgate has turned out to be a pretty mighty place of power. While Hell has done a pretty decent job trying to destroy it, the structures still stand and the triptychs actually serve as portals to other areas.

Although the actual event is Guy Fawkes Night, maybe it’s Hellgate’s play on the name.

Enjoy
