Das Merchandising zu Hellgate: London läuft nicht nur im Sinne des Spiels auf Hochtouren. Wie schon zu Diablo 2 und World of Warcraft wird es Romane zu dem Spiel geben. Geplant ist, laut Amazon, eine Trilogie, deren erster Band, Exodus, über Amazon verfügbar ist. Ein Auszug wurde bei den Kollegen von SimonSays.com veröffentlicht, dessen ersten Teil wir euch nicht vorenthalten wollen:

Loud gunshots woke Simo Cross from a too-short slumber and threw him directly into the path of a killer hangover. He sat up in the tent, automatically reaching for the hunting rifle beside his sleeping bag. He tried to figure out where the gunshots had come from, but had to admit that he might have dreamed them.

Or hallucinated them. He groaned and cursed as he forced himself to his feet. You know better than to drink like that, you stupid git. Especially while you're out in the brush.

Bright sunlight lay in wait outside the tent and the mosquito netting. No one else was up and about. The three other tents comprising the group of vacationing tourists he'd brought out to view the flora and fauna of the Fynbos grasslands for the last two weeks hadn't stirred.

Simon listened intently but the gunshots weren't repeated. You dreamed it. Go back to bed. Get what little sleep you've got coming to you and be glad of it. With all that alcohol in your system, you're going to be sweating your bleeding guts out today.

With a sigh, he turned back to the sleeping bag. Last night Saundra had joined him. Sometimes she did, but she liked to be out of his tent before their clients got out of bed.

Saundra McIntyre was long and lean, five foot ten if she was an inch, but he still towered seven inches above her and made her look small because he was so broad-shouldered. She wore her long auburn hair pulled back in a ponytail. Freckles spattered her cheeks and nose.

He held a great affection for her, but it wasn't love. He'd been truthful about that. They'd been conducting safaris in the South African wilds together for the last sixteen months. Long enough to get to know each other really well. And to develop great affections for each other.

Der zugehörige Manga, der in Kooperation mit TOKYOPOP kommen soll, wurde ja schon Anfang dieses Jahres angekündigt. Außerdem haben die Kollegen von HellgateGuru.com einen Scan des Magazins PC Gamer veröffentlicht, in dem es um Mythos geht. 

 Auch in diesem Magazin wird das Spiel hoch gelobt, und die Redakteure sind, wie auch schon andere Magazine, der Ansicht, dass Mythos deutlich mehr Potential besitzt, als "nur" ein Netcode-Test zu sein.
