Flagship's other MMO - Mythos nearing release
With all the buzz about Flagship Studios' upcoming game, Hellgate: London, it hasn't been difficult to forget their subsidiary studio Flagship Seattle, who are currently beta-testing their own new MMO, Mythos.
Mythos, due to ship later this year, is a free-to-download, free-to-play, casual MMO which will be distributed by another Flagship subsidiary Ping0 LLC (in North America and Europe) and HanbitSoft (in Asia).
We don't quite know what the revenue model for Mythos is at this stage, but the Seattle team has been hard at work in recent weeks, supporting the beta phase with bug fixes and patches, and on Friday beta-testers were granted an invitation each to bring their friends in.
Mythos promises to deliver accessible, isometric, point-and-click game-play - which, given the developers, and the lean system requirements immediately puts me in mind of Diablo. Flagship promises to support thousands of players, with instanced dungeons for solo and group adventuring, and regular expansions and updates, all based off the same fundamental multiplayer support platform that powers its big, bad, brother Hellgate: London.
