Flagship Studios has today announced that its action role-playing game Hellgate: London has become the most successful online video game launch of the past three years, with over one million accounts registered during the first two weeks of its open beta test.
Following the launch of the open beta on January 15 the game became the ninth most played online game, the fifth most popular RPG and the most popular online beta game in PC Cafes.
The game was released commercially on February 22 and achieved record sales during its first week.
“To become the most successful launch in Korea for over three years is an incredible achievement,” said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. “This milestone wouldn’t have been possible for us to achieve without the incredible support of our publishing partner, Hanbitsoft, and our dedicated community in Korea. We look forward to expanding the Hellgate universe and building upon this success in the future.”
