Flagship Studios and EA are bringing Hellgate: London to what should be its final E3 trade show, as the long-awaited action role-playing game is finally set to ship later this summer or in the early fall. Hellgate represents the debut game for Flagship, which was founded by key members of the team responsible for the blockbuster Diablo games while they were at Blizzard. And in many ways, Hellgate borrows and builds on many of the gameplay conventions found in Diablo, like killing hundreds of monsters, collecting tons of loot, and becoming more powerful the further you get in the game. Flagship will use E3 to highlight some of the high-level quests to be found in Hellgate, which we got to play through for a full report. Please note that this preview contains slight story spoilers.
