If you take a look back at the extremely bumpy history of Hellgate: London, the fact that the game has got yet another lease on life isn’t so much surprising as par for the course, like Dracula rising up constantly to fight the Belmonts. So here we go once more with the rogue server London: 2038, which started work on reanimating the long-suffering title in 2016 and has now entered beta, just in time for Halloween this past weekend.
The beta build of the game, as one would expect, features a full alpha character wipe. It also removed unique retrainers from vendors and reduced the maximum number of characters per account to 12. In addition, the beta has introduced some bug fixes, dye kit flavor text changes, skill adjustments, and monster nerfs.
If you happen to still have your copy of the original game floating around, there’s an install guide to follow for those who want to join in, as well as an FAQ and a Discord.
