IGN - First Look at Mythos
IGN has an article up looking at Mythos. They go into a lot of detail about the game’s features and some upcoming things for the game. There is also a whole bunch of videos to go with the article on their website.
The game itself fuses elements of Diablo and Fate (an action-RPG released in 2005) and will feel familiar to anyone who experienced Iron Lore’s Titan Quest. In case you haven’t been following along, Flagship Studios was responsible for last year’s much-hyped Hellgate: London, an action-RPG dungeon crawler title that met with mixed reactions from the gaming community and media after a wonky launch and, in general, didn’t quite live up to the expectations of fans waiting for the “next big thing” from a studio founded by ex-Blizzard North executives (responsible for the previous Diablo games).
Will more classes eventually be included in the game? Schaefer says yes, but “we are not at liberty to discuss what they are yet, but it’s a safe bet that some will specialize in some of the weapon types that currently exist but don’t have a class that is optimal for them.”
Once players hit the level 50 cap, there’ll be special end-game content to act as an incentive to keep playing. According to Schaefer, Flaship will be adding, “things like a retirement/legacy system so new characters get a benefit of old retired characters…very specific rare collectibles and set-items to find, some requiring groups…rankings,…ladders, and that sort of thing.”
The game is currently in a closed beta phase and should move to open beta within a few weeks. As for a hard release date, here’s what Schaefer had to say: “We refer to [it as] our ‘commercialization’ date, which is when we turn the money on. Right now we’re aiming towards early fall, but will make the final decision when the game is ready. Development will continue as long as people keep playing, however.”
