Flagship Studios was a video game development company founded in 2003 by former employees of Blizzard Entertainment. The studio was known for its focus on creating immersive online gaming experiences, particularly in the action role-playing genre. The company gained attention for its debut title, Hellgate: London, which combined elements of first-person shooters and role-playing games. Despite initial excitement, the game faced challenges and ultimately led to the studio's closure in 2008. Flagship Studios remains a notable part of gaming history for its ambitious projects and contributions to the genre.
