Mythos is a computer game under development by Flagship Studios. The game is being created by the recently formed Flagship Seattle. The game is an online RPG that will be used to test the networking technology behind the multiplayer component of Flagship Studios' Hellgate: London. The game will not be sold in the shops but digitally distributed by Flagship Studios subsidiary Ping0 in North America and Europe some time in 2007. The game will be free to play and download but it is expected Flagship will work to receive some revenue from the product although how this will happen has not been decided.
The game is very similar in style to the Diablo series utilising the same perspective and many of the interface characteristics of the original game.
[edit] Official Description
Mythos is an online, action role-playing experience set in the land of Uld - a fantasy world arising from the ashes of an epoch-long war of darkness. Join others in a heroic quest to reclaim the land from the creatures while striving to be the first to discover ancient and powerful secrets of lost civilizations.
Players assume the roles of fantasy heroes as they explore, adventure, battle, and quest through entirely randomized dungeons and environments. Mythos allows thousands of players to interact within the same world while using entirely “Instanced” dungeons to create unique gaming experiences suited for both solo and group-minded players. This means the game dynamically constructs the adventuring areas for each band of fortune-hunters every time. No two play sessions are exactly the same, and there is always something new waiting around the next dimly-lit corner.
Whether adventuring together or braving the dangers of the world of Uld alone, friendships are formed, alliances are forged, and the competition for knowledge, power and glory is on!
