Gamasutra has picked up on company blog posts by HanbitSoft's Global PR Manager, Janelle.

One is a definitive announcement that HanbitSoft owns both the Hellgate: London and Mythos IP

edit:

as other people have posted,

this will not be for NA / EU

No way!? That is great news!

I avoided HG, cause of the way it was managed, i hope Hanbit do a good job.

For cool, and it was one of the scenerios I had invisioned for the NA/EU  but was not 100% sure, since Hanibsoft does not have any of their games in English , yet.

Never heard of them, how fairs their non-English games?

 

Hanbitsoft is typical mmo publisher from Korea, HG London will be the biggest project for them specially since it would be there first NA/EU game title.

Yes Hanbit is making an expansion and yes it's going to be released, but not for NA or EU. At least that is what Tiggs is saying from 3 separate posts.

Tiggs:

"I'm telling you what I know that the game and forums will shut down on January 31st, 2009. There is no talk that I am aware of for any NA or EU support after that date. I just want to make sure that after things get shut down you folks don't come back at me and yell OMG you lied! You gave us hope. I am not giving you any glimmer of hope folks. The end is not far off and I am sorry for that. I will miss this community fanbois and haters alike."

"Folks, January 31, 2009 Hellgate London and the forums for NA and EU severs will be shut down for good. No Hanbitsoft or joining their servers, no Redbanana ect."

"No, it means Hellgate London will not be around at all for NA and EU."

Franklly since Tiggs is a Namco employee, I would find it hard to see how she/he would have any insight ib=n what Hanbitsoft  is doing for the game. This is probably the best and only product that could show some success in the NA/EU marlket and it would probably not go untried , in my opinion.
