Despite rumours over the past 48 hours that Hellgate may well be revived and development would continue on the game with new content. Namco has confirmed that the servers will shut down at the end of January. Registered users received an email saying:

"Please be advised that NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. will continue to support customers of Hellgate: London with online server support and play through January 31, 2009. In a further gesture of support, we will provide this server support free of charge to all fans and players of the game up until the shut down date."

All of us at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. appreciate your enthusiasm for Hellgate: London and look forward to providing you with future entertainment products."

This follows news that an update for the game was in the works. The Hellgate chapter will finally close in January.
