'''Mythos''' is a computer game under development by [[Flagship Studios]]. The game is being created by the recently formed Flagship Seattle and its development is led by Travis Baldree, creator of the [[:Category:Action|action]] [[RPG]] [[FATE]]. The game started as an action RPG intended to test the networking technology behind the multiplayer component of Flagship Studios' [[Hellgate: London]], but has since grown into an independent game scheduled for a separate release. Mythos will not be sold in shops, but rather be digitally distributed by Flagship Studios subsidiary Ping0 in North America and Europe. The game will be free to play and download, but optional in-game items will be available for online purchase to help finance the game. Mythos shares the in-house developed game engine created for Hellgate: London.

The game is very similar in style to the [[Diablo]] series utilizing the same perspective, extensive map and item randomization, many of the interface characteristics of the original game, as well as sharing a fantasy setting.
== Story ==
Mythos is set in a fantasy world called Uld. After a massive war ended between the forces of the Kingdoms and Discordia the people of the world set out to rebuild from what was left. Only a hundred and fifty years have been recorded since the new establishment of society. With the new foundation of the various races of the world, there also exists the remnants of the dark creatures of Discordia. These beasts lie within the recesses of the wilderness - waiting to consume everything in its path. Adventure forth to scour the darkness from the lands, and hunt for the powerful tools to aid you in your quest.
Individuals or groups of players assume the roles of fantasy heroes to reclaim the land from the creatures while striving to be the first to discover ancient and powerful secrets of lost civilizations.
Mythos allows thousands of players to interact within the same world, however they are separated through the use of randomized and instanced dungeons and environments. The game dynamically constructs the adventuring areas for each player or group every time a new area is explored; in doing so, the game is limitless, albeit often repetitive.
As far as races and classes go so far, it is known that players can be either Cyclops, Gremlins, Humans, or Satyrs. Classes include: Bloodletter (a melee class), Gadgeteer (a ranged class), and Pyromancer (a magic user class). Each class has plenty of room to be customized to create new ways of fighting, for example both Pyromancers and Bloodletters can be specialized to focus on summoning support creatures rather than direct fighting techniques.

1up.com and Gamespy have solid previews of the game on their websites, and Game Informer devoted their "Mod World" column to this up-and-coming MMO in their August 2007 issue, "There isn't much better news a gamer can get than to hear that the developers of one of their favorite games is working on a spiritual sequel - and giving it away for free."
