MYTHOS, a fantasy-based, hack ‘n’ slasher ala Diablo, will be free to download and play. Features include three races (Humans, Gremlins and Elves), randomized dungeons and “a constantly expanding, continuously updated world” all helpfully squeezed into a godlike isometric view. You can find out more in a preview at 1-Up and sign on for Beta at the official MYTHOS site.

I call a moratorium on new MMO announcements. No more new MMOs for the next 60 days. I just can’t keep all these games straight anymore. Kay? K. Thnx.

“Flagship Studios has made a name for itself over the past few years developing the upcoming Hellgate: London, but the lesser known (and recently formed) Flagship Seattle has a project of its own in the works with the online action-RPG Mythos. While the game is a separate entity from Hellgate, it is curently being used as a vehicle for testing the online multiplayer tech and services of that game.”
