Yes this is real. No you’re not imagining things. Another Hellgate game is in development, with the original Hellgate London lead Bill Roper at the helm. Hellgate Redemption is coming – built in Unreal Engine 5 for PC and consoles. No release date yet, of course. All we have for now is this mic-drop announcement to scratch our heads over.
In development at Lunacy games, which was only recently founded by a collection of industry vets, is also making a wild west survival RPG alongside their new Hellgate title. However, judging by the official announcement for Hellgate Redemption and Roper’s own history with the IP, it’s this game that’s closest to his heart.
Roper states, “I’ve dreamed of returning to the franchise we created back in 2007 for many, many years, I’ve always felt I had unfinished business with the Hellgate IP, which is why our codename for the project is Hellgate: Redemption.”
