Will be featured on the next issue of PC Gamer, as the makers of the Diablo games obviously have some industry following..
Still, it sounds like Diablo to me! Had to expect that from the people I know: Ken Williams, Tyler Thompson, Peter Hu, and of course Bill Roper.

PC Gamer is out, and it does make Hellgate: London sound a lot like Diablo (with a first-person view, though "a third-person mode for melee fighting will almost certainly be included").
Random dungeons (50% below ground); some randomization in quests; lots of items -- including ones with open 'slots'; ranged spell-casting-like weapons, with weapon to-hit/da character stat/skill-based, not twitch-based; paper-doll; npc's that will join player characters; one character type announced, the Palad.. oops I mean the Templar; 16 (possiby 32) player multiplayer game, primarily co-op....
