We just got word from EA that Hellgate: London is now gold and that a single player demo will hit the net tomorrow. The demo will let you choose two of the six classes letting you play either the sword swinging Blademaster or the long range Marksman. I'm currently playing through the beta myself.

Demons of London beware! Your reign of terror is officially coming to an end! Electronic Arts, Namco Bandai Games, and Flagship Studios are excited to announce that Hellgate™: London has gone to gold master and will be available exclusively for the PC on October 31st in North America and November 2nd in Europe.

"This has been an amazing journey for us and we couldn't be more proud of what we've accomplished," said Flagship Studios CEO, Bill Roper. "We're anxious to get Hellgate: London into gamers' hands and we can't wait to play right along with them."

And for those gamers who can't wait until Halloween to get their Demon-slaying on, Flagship Studios is releasing a singleplayer demo tomorrow, Thursday, October 18th, on AOL’s GameDaily (www.gamedaily.com)*.

The singleplayer demo represents just a small taste of the Hellgate: London experience. Gamers can choose from two of the game's six character classes: the Blademaster, a master of swordplay and action-packed melee combat, or the Marksman, a cool, calculating, long-range specialist. In the demo, these heroes are able to battle through a small handful of storyline and side quests as they adventure through the streets and tunnels around London's Holborn Station.
