Bored with the Internet already? Rest assured that numerous independent developers are almost always working on the next big thing for Web surfers like yourselves. Well, maybe not quite that grand, but there will never be a shortage of games.
True Games Interactive, along with Petroglyph, has announced a new online action strategy game, Mytheon. Developed by the team best known for Star Wars: Empire at War and Universeat War, Mytheon is an online micro transaction game that functions on collectability and combat. It utilizes elements of action, strategy, and RPG play, drawing much inspiration from various cultures and their mythologies. Players will start out in ancient Greece, and future expansions will introduce more unique myths as the game progresses.
While solo play is an option, Mytheon also offers co-op and PvP. The game's customizations revolve around "Power Stones," which grant players different spells and abilities depending on one of the three available character classes.
"There really isn't a game on the market today that someone could compare to Mytheon," said Jeff Lujan, Founder and Chairman of True Games Interactive. "The game truly creates an entirely new genre offering a combination of features that gamers would normally have to play several different games to get. There is no doubt it is an ambitious project, but Petroglyph has routinely delivered AAA quality, genre-defining games and Mytheon continues that pedigree."
Mytheon is currently scheduled for release next fall, though the studio is urging potential gamers to register on the official site for news updates on the game.
