Patch 1.0: Scapes’ Update and Hanbiton Video Preview

It’s been a while since we heard about the first big update for Hellgate: London, Patch 1.0. But be not worried, loot-hungry masses !

First of all, Scapes, one of Hellgate: London’s Community Managers, has written an update on the Patch’s progress. Here is what he had to say last Wedneday:

[…]The content update is not far away but does have two more requisite steps to
pass through.

First, our quality assurance (QA) team is scouring the
live launch build of Stonehenge for faults and is rapidly narrowing down the
remaining “holds”, bugs that prevent the patch from being released. These holds
make the game unplayable from either a gameplay or technical standpoint. Only a
solitary few remain and are meeting their undoing at present.

Second,
we’re going to be starting the ramp-up for promotion of Stonehenge Chronicles on
aggregate gaming news websites and with other press sources. For those who
haven’t experienced the new subscriber content first-hand, these articles will
provide a thorough evaluation of what the Stonehenge content update is going to
offer.[…]

But the most interesting information was added yesterday:

UPDATE:
The Stonehenge Chronicles content update will be coming this month.
Also, our planned schedule for releasing future content updates has not been
affected.

Obviously, very good news, both regarding Patch 1.0 and future patches.

Now, I’ll tease you a bit more, with this video Hanbiton released yesterday Peeks at Stonehenge itself, at some areas, and a few surprises are included in the Low-res video, and in its High-def sibling.

There you go, fellas !
