From Hellgatewiki.com
"The once great city lies in ruins. A massive, sinister gash in the fabric of our reality swirls and churns, dominating the horizon as it blend into a permanently darkened sky. The Invasion, the unspeakable cataclysm that befell London, eventually engulfed humanity as it came".
So begins the tale of Hellgate: London, the game from Flagship Studios. Hellgate: London is set in London (no, really) in the year 2038. At the time of the game, roughly twenty years have passed since the Earth was nearly destroyed by a demonic apocalypse (the worst kind) during which mankind was all-but exterminated. The few survivors were driven to scattered safe havens, such as some magically-protected stations beneath London, and from those few strongholds humanity is striking back and trying to reclaim our earth from the demonic invaders. While Hellgate: London takes place only in London, it is understood that the entire earth has been covered by the demonic horde, and that the human resistance fighting back all around the world.
The story is very much inspired by today's religions and beliefs. There are three active resistance factions among men, and even they can't get along properly. In the end, Templars, Cabalists and Hunters need to put aside their differences to defeat an undefeatable enemy. For now...
