Hellgate is a term that can refer to various locations or concepts, often associated with a place of suffering or torment. One notable example is the Hellgate Bridge in New York City, which spans the East River and connects Queens to Manhattan. The bridge is known for its distinctive arch design and is a significant landmark in the area. In a different context, Hellgate can also refer to a video game, specifically Hellgate: London, released in 2007. This action role-playing game combines elements of first-person shooters and traditional RPGs, set in a post-apocalyptic version of London overrun by demons. Players can choose different character classes and engage in combat while exploring the game's dark, immersive world.
