Namco Bandai may be stepping in to continue support of Flagship’s demon-laden online action RPG Hellgate: London. Namco senior business development director Zack Karlsson today posted a brief message on the game’s official forums, promising that an announcement regarding the status of Hellgate will be made soon:

I know everyone is looking for an announcement, and we’d love to make one — but right now, many things are in flux and we don’t have all the information yet. As soon as we do, we’ll post here on the forums, on the website, and anywhere else we can find you.

In the short term, please do not worry. The game is up, the servers are not going away in the short term and any major changes to status will be communicated in advance.

I’d like to ask for your patience as we try to figure it all out and chart a new course. We value your community, your commitment, and your passion for Hellgate and we will make sure that any solution that we architect will support all of you as best as we are able.

Thanks again. We hope to have a real announcement shortly.
