Talking exclusively to IncGamers, Baldree tells us how far Mythos was away from being released, more details about the game and when we can expect to hear announcements from the newly found Runic Games Inc.
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
Hanbitsoft and T3Fun have announced that the open beta for their online action role-playing game, Mythos Global is now live. European fans can once again join in the action after Mythos Europe was closed down last year. Mythos is set in the land of Uld, a fantasy world arisen from the ashes of a dark and terrible war. Uld is a place where many different races live and where gods try their best to gain more power and influence among their followers.
DSOGaming writes: "Sad news for fans of MYTHOS, as Frogster’s community manager announced that MYTHOS Europe will be closing its doors on October 27th at 12:00 CEST (11am UK). According to the team, MYTHOS enjoyed great popularity with the launch in April and the numerous registered users ensured a good start. The desired long-term success unfortunately did not follow and under these circumstances, they have made the difficult decision to discontinue the operation of MYTHOS."
Glad to see them come out of the mess that was the FSS closure. Good luck to them.
Damn interesting interview.. It's such a shame Mythos got canned as I was quite looking forward to that. :( Thanks!
I was such a huge fan of Hellgate, and visiting Hellgate.IncGamers.com daily. I am so sorry that Flagship wasn't able to push those last few miles in terms of funding, and release a GOOD game... A few more months of polish, and it would have been a lot more popular.
Absolutely gutted about Mythos. What a waste.
Oh no! So close yet so far...
