Have you ever doubted a Blizzard game? Cause this is almost the entire Blizzard North team. Bill Roper, one of the founders of blizzard, and the father of Diablo and Diablo 2 is the lead guy on Hellgate London, and just about his entire team from Blizzard left with him to make this game. So pretty much, look at this game as another Blizzard game, and you should understand why I'm so sure it'll be a huge hit.

But yeah. They've said it will hit the 360.

Seriously though. You look through the resumes of the team on Hellgate London, and almost ALL of them worked on Diablo and Diablo2. It's pretty crazy, but sweet.

Then of course there's the fact that it's online. They say, the game you buy, out of the box, will be free to play online. No monthly fees like WoW. I think they're going to go with a system where you pay for packages of extra content, or something. I'm not quite sure. Something like expansions you pay to DL? Kinda like Xbox Live stuff? It should all be clear soon, there's a huge front page Hellgate thing going on in the next Games for Windows Magazine(Computer Gaming World). They say it'll all be laid out in that issue.
