For those not au fait with technical gamer terminology, “gone gold” refers to the point at which a game is deemed to be “finished” and ready for replication and shipping out to stores. Gold is a reference to the gold master disc that is used to make all the thousands of other copies of the game that will eventually make their way into gamers’ hands.

There’s a little confusion surrounding the actual demo date, with the official EA press release saying the demo will be available via AOL’s GameDaily website on Thursday and on every other site on the intarweb on Friday, whilst the official Hellgate website says merely Friday for the demo date.

Regardless of which one is right it is clear that, either way, the wait is almost over!

The single player demo represents just a small taste of the Hellgate: London experience. Gamers can choose from two of the game’s six character classes: the Blademaster, a master of swordplay and action-packed melee combat, or the Marksman, a cool, calculating, long-range specialist. In the demo, these heroes are able to battle through a small handful of storyline and side quests as they adventure through the streets and tunnels around London’s Holborn Station.

There’s no further details on the demo, like how big the darn file is going to be, but expect a flurry of information as players finally start getting their hands on the game!

[Friday Morning Update: The demo is now available from GameDaily and a whole bunch of other places. Stay tuned for my first impressions some time later today!]
