<blockquote>



SANTA CLARA, Calif., (April 27,
2005) –
Leading games publisher and developer Namco Hometek Inc. today announced
HELLGATE: LONDON, the first original PC title from premier developer
Flagship Studios. HELLGATE: LONDON is a role-playing game set in the
immersive first-person perspective. With a completely randomised world that
offers a unique experience every time you play, HELLGATE: LONDON introduces a demon-ridden world
where the last survivors of the human race must meld science and magic to
survive.

"HELLGATE: LONDON is an incredibly ambitious title that will break the
mold of conventional role-playing games," said Nobuhiro Kasahara,
President and CEO of Namco Hometek, Inc. "With Flagship Studios'
unprecedented experience, we are confident that HELLGATE: LONDON will be one of
the most anticipated PC games ever."

"With our first game, we intend to create something unique in the world of
RPGs," said Bill Roper, CEO and co-founder of Flagship Studios. "By
focusing our expertise and creative energy onto this one title, we are crafting
a compelling world that combines massive amounts of randomization and

customisation to offer infinite replayability."

Set twenty-five years in the future, HELLGATE: LONDON introduces a world devastated by a
demon invasion and a desolate city scorched by hellfire where mankind has gone
underground to survive. Among them are the Templar, an archaic and secret
society that foresaw this demonic apocalypse centuries ago. Followers of arcane
rites, the Templar combine futuristic technology with ancient artifacts to
forge powerful weapons and armor. The mystic sanctuary of the Underground
system provides players safe conduct throughout the sprawling metropolis of London as they seek to preserve the
bloodline of man and gain a foothold against the minions of darkness.

HELLGATE: LONDON combines the depth of role-playing games and action of
first-person titles, while offering infinite playability with randomly created
levels, items, and events. The player creates a heroic character, completes
quests, and battles through innumerable hordes of demons to advance through
experience levels and branching skill paths. A robust, flexible skill and spell
system, highly customizable appearances, and a massive variety of randomly
generated equipment allow players to create their own unique hero. For more

Namco isn't making this game. Flagship Studios is. Flagship is headed by Bill Roper, of Blizzard and Diablo fame.

I think you should settle it with a knife fight in the streets of SÃƒÂ£o Paulo. John Matrix can be the referee.
