Mythos is Reborn


Redbana US launches updated teaser site detailing several new additions to the highly anticipated dungeon-crawling MMO.

December 1, 2009 - SAN FRANCISCO - Redbana US Corporation today announced plans to publish Mythos in North America. T3 Entertainment's North American development and publishing arm, Redbana will bring the long-awaited online action RPG to US audiences, expanding the company's offering of premier free-to-play online games. Fans are encouraged to check out new additions to the game at the official teaser site: www.mythos.com.

The newly updated Mythos website features a brand new teaser trailer with never before seen footage of new content. Visitors can also stay updated on Mythos' development with a calendar of upcoming announcements and an animated book that describes some of the newly added back-story. Fans of Mythos can still sign up for the official newsletter, with more information about the upcoming North American closed beta, explore concept art and new features, which will be added periodically leading up to the game's launch.

"We're privileged to be able to take the helm of this ambitious and highly-regarded project," said Young Rok Park, CEO of Redbana. "We launched Redbana with Audition, and are now diversifying our offering with Mythos. Our vision is to deliver a diverse selection of high quality games to the North American market."

In 2008, the Mythos beta was closed to the disappointment of the game's many fans. HanbitSoft acquired the intellectual property and parent company T3 Entertainment resumed development, with the game now in closed beta in South Korea. Redbana will oversee the launch and operations for the title in North America.

Awesome news, the little that I played Mythos when it was still in Beta was pretty fun.

But the move to "F2P, microtransactions" is not to my liking. Oh well.

Missed out the first time around since Hellgate: London left such a bad taste in my mouth. I kind of ignored everything Flagship did.

I did hear good things about it though on forums and stuff. I'll be looking forward to giving it a try.

I was the same with hellgate and I bought the life time membership. Worst 200 bucks I spent but if I would have spent what they wanted for the full content a month I might have ended up spending more. Bad thing was even the free members ended up with that extra content but members that paied just got it earlyer. I did try out mythos and liked it but it ran like shit on both my computers however it was beta. I would give it another shot hell I liked it better then hellgate.

Mythos wasn't terrible but it was basically a Diablo II clone without even close to as many features as Diablo II had. Just go buy the battlechest and play on Battle.net and you'll get way more for your money unless they've done massive upgrades/updates since I played this a few years ago.

It's back but I don't know how good it will be going forward. The original developers aren't involved in it anymore. They've formed Runic Games, whose current project is Torchlight.

And I believe the original version was going the F2P/Microtransaction route as well, but it just didn't make it that far before they went down the tubes.
