Flagship Studios First Project Title Announced

Voodoo Extreme has newsbits from around the interweb about Hellgate: London, the first title in the works at Flagship Studios. The home of well known ex-Blizzard employee Bill Roper is crafting a title that sounds a lot like the Blizzard hit Diablo. From the article: "The game is set five years after a war against demons has already been lost. London is depicted as a burnt out shell of itself. The demons are in the process of "hellaforming" earth to make it more suitable for their kind. A handful of humans have survived."

It would have been nice to see some screenshots, concept art, or something. All I know is it's going to be a lot like Diablo II, according to some people.
They just say "Well, it's an RPG set in hallasized London. ANTICIPATE!"
Ooooh. I can't wait to... Do... Something. In London. I'm glad they released so much information on the game mechanics.

Source article has a lot more info

This story [blizzplanet.com] reports in detail about the history of this company we've never heard of, and gives us info on a game we've never heard of. =)

The article also explains why we don't have screenshots. Because PC Gamer has the exclusive on those.

John. Romero. Daikatana.

Roper wasn't exactly the gaming genius behind Diablo.
