Game News - New Flagship Seattle Studio Announces Mythos RPG

   So determined are the folks from Flagship Studios to have the best possible multiplayer experience in their upcoming Action-RPG, Hellgate: London, that they have established a new studio in Seattle and began work on a casual online RPG, that will be used to test their networking technology. The game is called Mythos, and as you can see from our first screenshot, it's pretty far away from Hellgate: London's graphical extravaganza.

   In fact, it might remind you of another RPG released last year by WildTangent, called Fate: just compare the first Mythos screenshot with this particular Fate screenshot. And it's no coincidence that they look similar, because the new Flagship Seattle studio is led by Travis Baldree - who previously worked at WildTangent as the Lead Designer on the free-to-play role-playing game Fate. Not much more is known about Mythos at this time, apart from the fact that it will be digitally distributed by Flagship Studios subsidiary Ping0 in North America and Europe, in 2007.

   As for Flagship's new satellite studio from Seattle, here's a bit more from the announcement:
The creation of Flagship Seattle plays an integral part in the company's development plans. (...) Flagship Seattle has a diverse history of game development. Other team members have worked on titles including Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege and SWAT 3.

"We were very impressed with the work of Travis from when we were first shown Wild Tangent's Fate at E3 2005", said Phil Shenk, Creative Director of Mythos and founding member of Flagship Studios. "Both he and the Flagship Seattle team have an exceptional pedigree in games development. Their skills and expertise make them real assets."

"To be involved in the formation of Flagship Seattle is an honor", said Travis Baldree, Project Director of Flagship Seattle. "We are sure that Mythos will put Flagship Seattle on the map, and in turn will become an integral part of the Flagship Studios experience"
