Remember, Remember the Fifth of November!

Hellgate: London is celebrating Guy Fawkes Day. The holiday which is still celebrated in England, is held in remembrance of Guy Fawkes, who tried to kill King James I what in what became known as the Gunpowder Plot. This story has been referenced in numerous pop culture media, from the Harry Potter books to the film V for Vendetta to the song Remember by John Lennon. It’s time to add Hellgate: London to the list!

Here’s what to expect:

• Nemo, Master of Festivities - He has moved to his permanent home inside Templar Base with several surprises for adventurous souls.
• A special themed-event Wanted Post is located next to Nemo at the Templar Base.
• Guy Fawkes Quests -There are bigger demons out there, and perhaps they’re being drawn to the flames that erupt on Bonfire night. Track down a series of named monstrosities and explore new areas as you seek to keep these horrors at bay.
• Bonfire Nightmares - Parts of the city have been made even more fiery than usual by the culmination of increased demonic activity and the explosive nature of the times. Keep an eye out for these rare locations.
• Grenades - What would this celebration be without explosions? Lots of explosions… so many, in fact, that everyone gets in on the fun of hurling the Marksman’s staple – Grenades. Now, imagine what else you could do with them…
• Guy Fawkes Recipes - Making things is a big part of the remembrance of Guy Fawkes for the survivors in London. The ingenuity of Guy Fawkes is represented in the numerous recipes and schematics that crop up during this time.
• Guy Fawkes Treats – Bonfire Toffee, Toffee Apples, Baked Potatoes – all of the expected foodstuffs (and more) to keep winter’s chill at bay and bolster characters with a wide variety of beneficial boosts.
• Fawkes’ Flameguards - Handling explosives can be tricky, so you’ll want to make sure to find the right pair of gloves to keep your hands safe and sound.
• The Legacy of Guy Fawkes - The Techsmiths have been busier than usual, so you’ll never know when gear might drop that has a thematic tie to the celebration.
