I am speechless. In my entire life I was sad about 2 games failing: Hellgate London and Wildstar. I can't believe that Hellgate London is coming back. I LOVE this SO much!!!
Hellgate: London is an S-tier concept trapped in a B-tier game. I liked the game, but it has A LOT of problems, hopefully they can make it right this time :)
Tried some mods to improve the game? Still would not make it an S tier tho ;-) Hellgate 2038 would be the best mod for that (even if you want to play singlepalyer)
As somebody who played Hellgate: London when it released, still has the original CDROM with activation key and guidebook that came with it, And still plays Hellgate: London OG version (not Tokyo), My excitement cannot be understated.
Remnant is also a fantastic game and ip. But it's also not Hellgate either as far as that goes. I love them both. How about a crossover colab, that'd be crazy fun.
This is the best news in months, if not years. The atmosphere of Hellgate: London and game itself is one of my most loved in 35 years of gaming. Thank you for sharing this news!
as someone who read all 3 books and played hellgate london for over 1500 hours back in the day, i can say that this is the most exciting news i've heard in video game world in years! (and im a huge destiny2 player who just heard about prismatic...)
Anyone remember the old gaming magazine ads for Hellgate London when it was coming out? They were like a picture of some beat up person and a quote of them like "The demons kicked me in my teeth and ripped my dog in half. I'm going to London". I thought those ads were strange and then you'd go to the back of the magazine for a little comic of HSU & Chan?
Yup i had 1 of those magazines, it was a strip of ppl saying'im going to london' in front of a burning london in the background. It was ligit hype at the time. Every game media was covering it. The graphics looked great at the time. I got it, played it, loved it for a few hrs then never touched it again cause i was studying for my degree at the time. Tryied the free2play version and hated it after a few minutes. However, will definitely look forward to playing HGR when/if it comes out. 🔥I'll definitely be going to London.🔥🙌
Loved Hellgate London, had a ton of fun with this game. What really sucked they had a fantastic sci-fi book series based on the game that they never finished because the game didn't do well. Love the lore/story as well. So much there to work with.
Something about Hellgate had me wanting for so long that I've been obsessing over it for the past year. I even bought one of the statues and the collector's edition PC Box and then out of nowhere I get wind of a sequel in the works?!?!!? Absolutely phenomenal, just praying to GOD that they can pull this off, as I know there is a lot of people (myself included) who are going to be a little skeptical. Fingers crossed.
I read the books as well as played the game. It was the last game that truly hooked my dad before he passed away. The IP means a lot to me and it having a chance to make a return is exciting. The Templars are one of the coolest factions I've read about in the realm of fiction.
This makes me happy to know a sequel is coming even if it is still years away. I love Hellgate: London even with the bugs it had. Shame the game wasn't met with a better response. Seeing how well the looter-shooter genre is now a days if the team working on Hellgate Redemption are able to produce a gem then they will set a new precedence for all of the lost gems to make a comeback. Which in turn will breathe new life into the gaming industry.
Wow! I can't believe it? It's coming back. Flippin amazing. I struggled to play the original. It was sooo buggy and back then I had a mediocre machine so glitchy game on top of a mid machine didn't bode a good experience but it was a rad game. The studio was heavily pushed to comeplete the game at predetermined date but since this genre was the first time being made they were essentially learing as they were going along so I never had anamosity to the developers. The frustration and slight anger was towards the higher ups wanting this game out NOW!. Alas it didn't go so well like many games we have seen many years later.
No way we're getting back to it, was so excited for it back when it landed and really liked the experience. Hope for their success and for the new product to be good.
Man I remember Hellgate London: I remember playing it thinking “is this really happening?” It was great even tho it was so rough. Lookin forward to this
The chances for this game to have a good gameplay, looter shooter mechanics etc. and not to have shitty MTX are probably like 5-10%. I would love for this game to be a hit like Helldivers 2 but realistically it wont happen.
Keep expectations low but standards high and wait for release for final verdict... Hopefully they will release a demo otherwise, sail the 7 seas and save your money.
remember when they announced a sequel for Vampires: The Masquerade: Bloodlines complete with a trailer that showed excellent first person combat only to announce a few years later that the dev team sucked so hard they moved it to a different studio? I'd put money on that game being a mobile release. "I would love for this game to be a hit like Helldivers 2," yes, I would also like every game to be a once-in-a-generation live service bonanza that drops into the zeitgeist with the high impact of a 380mm orbital cannon. Woudn't that be nice. But even if the game is very, very good it won't ever be that.
@@poposterous236 I wouldnt call Helldivers a once in a generation live service. We have had plenty of good ones at the start only for them to be marred over time. Helldivers still has alot of time to prove that trend right.
I say this for many years, hellgate london has so much potential, I wonder how there is no hellgate london 2 so far. This is an incredible game and if it's made right it can easily be the best and most played looter shooter game on the market. Basically a diablo 2 game that's played from first/third perspective, it's just awesome.
...I still have a copy of the original game that comes with me with every PC move. Loved the aesthetic. Pre-ordered the game and...god it was a mess. But I still replay it every couple years. This is phenomenal news!
Ivan Sulic, the main writer for Hellgate:London, used to be with IGN way back in the day. I really enjoyed his sense of humor throughout the game. Would be nice if he could do some work on the new game.
I remember when I heard that they gave a good chunk of the story-writing to some random person whose job was business, or something? It came through in the dialogue pretty strongly.
No freaking way!!! I was so obsessed with this IP I bought and read all the novels and little comics. I wish it would’ve done better back then. They left everything unfinished in the books.
Lmao I remember looking at the ads for this game in gameinformer back then, they just took pictures of random people doing the ptsd stare and added quotes like "My girlfriend got ripped in half by a demon, I'm going to Hellgate London."
I remember buying this just two weeks before the servers were gone. Managed to rush through the main game with a friend even though we were both busy with work. It had amazing potential but was taken out of the oven too soon. Yet, it was some of the most fun online co-op. Remember the dead.
I cracked out on this game hard and even paid the sub for a few months. If it had kept development I prob would never have dropped it so glad to see a resurrection.
I absolutely loved Hellgate London. I still remember my awesome little agro tank pet. I hope to see a good game from a developer that likes what they do.
For all of its MANY bugs and glitches, HGL was one of the greatest lost loves of my gaming life along with Marvel Heroes which is also related via the David Brevik/Bill Roper connection. I spent thousands and thousands of hours (and dollars) playing both and would jump at the chance to play either again. Outrageously exciting news.
One of my favorite game! Back in 2007 i even bought the original CD even played on official servers and 3 months after that they shut down the servers. Pretty good story.
OMG. I was so disappointed when the game servers took my online characters and stash to the grave. I installed it again when i got myself a new pc in ~ 2009 after my OG laptop died, finding that the final update to the game was nowhere to be found and i couldn't play the game I came to know again because id only found an earlier update which didnt have (the better) upgradeable gear and better upgrade costs and quality of life. If it werent for diablo i would never have played hellgate, and if it werent for hellgate, id probably not play borderlands 2 all the way up until this year. And all 3 were iconic in my eyes. They did things in such a unique way from one another but all scratched that same itch. Id also confidently say that hellgate was the hardest of them all too. I still have the attempted game files i tried to update to this day on my hard drive.
I really liked Hellgate: London's visual design, at least in cinematic those things were so fucking cool, they don't exactly live up to today, but they do still hold up decently well.
On a related note, I really wish they'd release a solo/private multiplayer version of The Secret World. As in, the original version, not Secret World Legends. Loved TSW, but it really needed to not be an MMO; story and RPG depth was good enough to be a singleplayer title easily. Always felt like TSW was a bit of a spiritual successor to Hellgate London, especially if you played Templar.
"Normal people have a single watch. Insecure people have 2. I...have 6. I AM THE TIME MASTER!!" I will NEVER forget those characters and their wonky quests XD
If they can do the IP justice I'd be so excited. I'd also like to see the books come back, was always sad they never got past the first trilogy because the game didn't do as well as hoped.
The only problem that I had with hellgate london was the absurd amount of bullet sponges in the game. And if you're lucky (or unlucky in this case) you might end up finding an elite that's literally impossible to kill.
Omg so hyped now, loved Hellgate London and played it alot at launch, then it died and i was sad. Saw an interview with the devs saying they no longer had access to the source code, and thus could no remake the game.
I used to own the original cd version. I always liked the premise our world but with fantastical themes. I wish more instead of the typical fantasy setting used our own world for rpgs/arpgs
Holy shit, best news I've heard in years! Bring it back baby! Played the original at launch and loved it, visuals and story were solid imo, long live Hellgate!
I still have the Hellgate London Collectors edition that came with that pet and other minor stuff. It had its issues for sure...but it went down way to fast... Hopefully they get it right this time...and it does well! Otherwise, like the original Hellgate, something I play every few years.
This would be a welcomed addition to my games that I play. I liked the original game but sadly I wasn’t able to play it much since I joined the military not too long after it launched. I hope it lives up to expectations.
I loved this game for about a month before i found out it was the reason i was violently ill from motion sickness. Puking, headache, bad dizziness, nothing stopped me from playing since I thought it was just the flue, hehe. Will 100% play it again when it comes out. Just please, let us respec easily or on the fly this time!.

I LOVE this SO much!!!
I hope Wildstar is next!
Wildstar is on a private server. I didnt play it, only on the official.
Rip wildstar 😢
@@Vulkan_Gaming that would be awesome
youre so right! 100% agreed. i also hope wildstar comes back T_T it would be too good to be true
Hellgate: London is an S-tier concept trapped in a B-tier game.
I liked the game, but it has A LOT of problems, hopefully they can make it right this time :)
Tried some mods to improve the game? Still would not make it an S tier tho ;-)
Hellgate 2038 would be the best mod for that (even if you want to play singlepalyer)
@@igorthelight
Hellgate 2038 is still in open Beta AFAIK. And according to the last dev Diary, Closed Station is still not done.
@@BeatmasterAC True. But so many people are recommending it xD
There is also a Revival mod ;-)
@@igorthelight
I played revival a lot. Too bad the Steam Version isn't compatible with Revival, nor with 2038
Well said bro, the concept was good. I still miss it, variety of classes, story, loot, difficulty were all there
I love this game. I would love to see this IP come back. The world was amazing. Great lore!
As somebody who played Hellgate: London when it released, still has the original CDROM with activation key and guidebook that came with it, And still plays Hellgate: London OG version (not Tokyo), My excitement cannot be understated.
i'm with you brother
got the collectors edition sitting on a shelf, and currently re-installing the steam version
*Overstated
I remember getting my dad to buy that game for me at GameStop. One of my earlier gaming memories lol I think I was like 8 or 9 at the time.
Nothing's ever scratched the Hellgate itch. It's single handedly motivating me to get a CD drive.
Remnant: From the Ashes (1 and 2)
Remnant is also a fantastic game and ip.
But it's also not Hellgate either as far as that goes.
I love them both.
How about a crossover colab, that'd be crazy fun.
This is the best news in months, if not years. The atmosphere of Hellgate: London and game itself is one of my most loved in 35 years of gaming. Thank you for sharing this news!
I am 35. Insane.
nice pitch cranker pfp 🐐

YEEEEEEEEEES. I LOVED this game as a kid. I so hope it's going to be good.
Dude, I started watching you on your Wolcen videos 5 years ago. I'm so glad you worked your way up to 105k subs!
Keep up the good work, don't stop!
I am so unbelievably hyped for this
WOW, awesome news! I remember watching the cinematic as a kid and being totally blown away
Still remember playing this game in PC LAN cybercafe back in highschool.
this is insane never expect it...
Wow I had no idea a sequel was coming. Will keep my excitement in check because without David Brevik I’m not sure they can get it right.
I remember seeing the trailer for this as a kid. Never got to experience the game personally, but I always wanted to play it!
I've had Hellgate London as my PC background for the last few years. Awesome to see this.
FOR THE LIVING!!!! awesome news man! this made my day thank you!
I just started Hellgate a few days ago. I really like the game, so its very nice to hear that news.

Bought hellgate london back in the day it was a hidden gem, also played the og guild wars kinda reminds me of that game

I hope this game does well. I played Hellgate: London with my brother back in the day and we loved it.
One of my favorite games of that decade. Hidden gem, in all its rough and unpolished glory.
I'll definitely keep an eye out for news about this.
Just subbed. This is going to be awesome. Thanks for covering it and can't wait to see your next videos.
I played Hellgate London when it was released, and now I feel old.
Still remember the battle cry: "For the Living!!!"

Well there's a game I never expected to hear anything about ever again. Very interesting. Will be watching for this.
Hellgate London was OG legit! Nice to see this! 😈😈
Great story, gameplay, looting, and just overall style of the game; and remember the commercials? "I'm going to London."
Man I remember Hellgate London: I remember playing it thinking “is this really happening?” It was great even tho it was so rough. Lookin forward to this
I remember that game in Game Informers as a kid. Holy cow.

As a massive fan of Hellgate: London this excites me. I look forward to the future dev updates.
I’d love to see an updated game. I had a lot of fun in it back in the day.
hellgate was hands down one of my favorites game...always wondered if we would ever get another one or a remake..hope this plays out.
Omg love hellgate you just made my day, thanks!❤
I had so much fun in OG Hellgate as an Engineer.
No freaking way!!! I was so obsessed with this IP I bought and read all the novels and little comics. I wish it would’ve done better back then. They left everything unfinished in the books.

Thank you so much for telling us this. I loved this game and still have my OG disc, although my pc doesn't have a disc drive lol.
Saw the thumbnail, remembered the armor. Pretty rad Reveal!
I instantly gasped and got so fucking excited had no clue this was about hellgate okay back to the video
I still have my hard copy of the game. It holds a special place in my collection. That is just for me and me alone! So excited for the Redemptin!!
Hellgate London was super underrated and one of my all time favorites.
I cracked out on this game hard and even paid the sub for a few months. If it had kept development I prob would never have dropped it so glad to see a resurrection.

The cinematics were so good.
I've been longing for this return in sort of official capacity. I hope it works. I really want to support this game.
Hellgate London what one of the First Direct X 10 games to come out. Man I miss that game.
One of my favorite game! Back in 2007 i even bought the original CD even played on official servers and 3 months after that they shut down the servers. Pretty good story.

I really liked Hellgate: London's visual design, at least in cinematic those things were so fucking cool, they don't exactly live up to today, but they do still hold up decently well.
thx for the heads up!
I am still hyped for the idea of Hellgate London as a videogame. Hoping they dont screw up the seque!
" Woe to the Dark, for knowledge is Light and Light shines still. "
I have not thought about Hellgate in like YEARS! last time I played it was back in 08 at a internet cafe back home HAHA!
Awesome news! Looking forward to it!
I fucking adore Hellgate London. One of my most memorable games in my teens. I can't wait for this!
On a related note, I really wish they'd release a solo/private multiplayer version of The Secret World. As in, the original version, not Secret World Legends. Loved TSW, but it really needed to not be an MMO; story and RPG depth was good enough to be a singleplayer title easily.
Always felt like TSW was a bit of a spiritual successor to Hellgate London, especially if you played Templar.
Holy shit! I remember this! I got it wheni was a kid. My copy came with a comic!
One of my favorite games of all time have been waiting for this announcement!!!!
"Normal people have a single watch. Insecure people have 2. I...have 6. I AM THE TIME MASTER!!"
I will NEVER forget those characters and their wonky quests XD
Oh shit, I played the og. It was so early in concept but I miss it. Excited!
I am so damn stoked about this. Wet meter is maxed out bro.
If they can do the IP justice I'd be so excited. I'd also like to see the books come back, was always sad they never got past the first trilogy because the game didn't do as well as hoped.
I'm so hyped for this, I loved Hellgate London!
The only problem that I had with hellgate london was the absurd amount of bullet sponges in the game.
And if you're lucky (or unlucky in this case) you might end up finding an elite that's literally impossible to kill.
Man i always loved the setting and art style of hellgate london, i really hope this new game comes out and doesnt stay in development hell.
Omg so hyped now, loved Hellgate London and played it alot at launch, then it died and i was sad. Saw an interview with the devs saying they no longer had access to the source code, and thus could no remake the game.
I used to own the original cd version.
I always liked the premise our world but with fantastical themes.
I wish more instead of the typical fantasy setting used our own world for rpgs/arpgs
I was so hyped for this game back in the days.
Holy shit, best news I've heard in years! Bring it back baby! Played the original at launch and loved it, visuals and story were solid imo, long live Hellgate!
This game was a hell of a concept and I love... sci fi hell metro... it's a fun fun time can't wait to see how this shakes out.
Hellgate London had "soul". I enjoyed it enough to remember it as grossly underrated.
I still have the Hellgate London Collectors edition that came with that pet and other minor stuff. It had its issues for sure...but it went down way to fast...
Hopefully they get it right this time...and it does well! Otherwise, like the original Hellgate, something I play every few years.
I'd never got the chance to play it, but i did see tons of edits that put the games cutscenes to Disturbed lol.
I loved hellgate. I still have the collectors edition sitting on my shelf.
Super excited for this, cant wait to see the new vision for the game.
This would be a welcomed addition to my games that I play. I liked the original game but sadly I wasn’t able to play it much since I joined the military not too long after it launched. I hope it lives up to expectations.
I remember when hellgate got announced. Man I've been around for a while.
I loved this game for about a month before i found out it was the reason i was violently ill from motion sickness. Puking, headache, bad dizziness, nothing stopped me from playing since I thought it was just the flue, hehe. Will 100% play it again when it comes out. Just please, let us respec easily or on the fly this time!.
I liked Hellgate London before it was bought and changed. Had a good story ending that felt satisfying since the villain technically won.
WOW! I remeber this game! I never was able to play I had a poor machine and no money at the time XD. I would love to see a new version!
I bought it at launch. I hope for a success if they are picking it back up. finger crossed.
