Electronic Arts and Namco Bandai have officially announced the release date for their upcoming title Hellgate: London. Fittingly enough, the title is currently slated to hit retail stores on Halloween.

Hellgate: London is an action-RPG combo that features dynamically generated levels, items, enemies and events for some great replay value. Players can also take the fight online, teaming up with friends to save London in a secure, client-server environment and playing through the entire story-driven campaign for free.

Flagship Studios is also offering an optional subscription service which will give players access to huge amounts of content on an ongoing basis in the form of quests, character classes, demons, items and the like. More details about this aspect of the game are expected to come soon.

North American gamers will be able to hack, slash and shoot their way through a demon-infested London on October 31, while those in Europe will be getting their own chance to kill some hellspawn on November 2.
