According to the comments from Korean publisher and developer HanbitSoft, multiplayer online title Hellgate: London will continue in unspecified territories as a free-to-play game, despite it has been announced to stop operating in the West at the end of the month.

As we know, Hellgate: London got a body blow on its sales in the last year,and forced the closing of developer Flagship Studios. Namco-Bandai, which co-published the game through an agreement with Electronic Arts' EA Partners had to make the decision to terminate the game's western servers and support.

The re-born Hellgate: London will be clearly aimed at the English-speaking market according to HanbitSoft's official weblog statement. However, it is unclear whether the company is formally allowed to operate the game in the U.S. or Europe.

Good for HabinSoft! Good luck to Hellgate: London!
