The semi-public beta test has proven quite popular among the GameArena community and we will of course be right there with local server support come release day so mark this one on your calendars.
Namco Bandai have announced the official release dates for Hellgate London, the hotly anticipated action RPG from Bill Roper's Flagship Studios. The US will see an appropriate Halloween release on October 31 with Europe a couple of days later on November 2. The Australian release date has now been confirmed as November 1st, so timezones accounted for, simultaneous with the US - another win for Aussie gamers.
Also this week, we have a new Hellgate London Trailer, showing off the game's cooperative multiplayer and providing what we think is the best look at the gameplay in action to date.
