Ping0 and FLAGSHIP STUDIOS Unveil MYTHOS
Company: Flagship Studios
Date: 23 Mar 2007
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., (March 22, 2007) Ping0, LLC, a joint-venture between Flagship Studios and HanbitSoft, Inc., today revealed details on Mythosâ„¢ the highly anticipated massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Flagship Studios Seattle. The announcement coincides with the expansion of the Mythos alpha test.
“For Mythos, we started with the revolutionary style of gameplay we pioneered in the Diablo franchise. Then, by offering it free to download and play, we
make it even more accessible to players. By designing the Mythos world from the ground-up to be an ever-changing place, we can quickly and seamlessly implement new ideas from a variety of inspirations,†said Phil Shenk, Creative Director of Mythos and founding member of Flagship Studios, “Through the continued support of the Flagship community, we are striving to create what will be one of the most innovative role-playing games of recent years.â€
Mythos is an online, action role-playing game that is free to download and free to play. Set in the land of Uld – a fantasy world arising from the ashes
of an epoch-long war of darkness – players assume the roles of fantasy heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest through entirely randomized dungeons and environments. With an elegant point-and-click interface and an accessible “isometric†perspective, Mythos is poised to have near-universal appeal. The game allows thousands of players to interact within the same world while using mostly “Instanced†dungeons to create unique gaming experiences suited for both solo and group-minded players.
As players journey into Mythos’ ever-expanding universe, they select one of three races (Human, Elves, or Gremlins) and opt to play as a particular
character class using a huge variety of skills and items. Through heroic quests players search for gold, gems, armor, and weapons, while unlocking the
secrets of Uld. Mythos presents a constantly expanding, continuously updated world where something new lurks around every corner.
Mythos is an online role-playing game developed by Flagship Seattle, a subsidiary of Flagship Studios. Mythos is currently exercising the online
technology and services behind the multiplayer component of the highly-anticipated action role-playing game Hellgate: London. Mythos will be digitally
distributed in North America and Europe in 2007 by Ping0. HanbitSoft, Flagship Studios’ partner in Ping0, will be responsible for distributing Mythos in
Asia.
