Mythos: public beta in April

The public beta of the hack-and-slash MMO Mythos will officially open on 12 April. Compared to the closed beta the Level Cap will be raised from 27 to 50 and will open a new area of the map, Umbral Peaks. Mythos was originally created by Flagship, developer of the controversial Hellgate: London, but after his death the fate of the game has passed into the hands of Runic Games, a company created by much of the original team, became famous with the GDR Torchlight.

The Korean publisher HanbitSoft has bought the rights and the release seems to draw ever closer. The date has not yet been officially announced, but it is confirmed that the game does not require monthly subscriptions or money for the download. The gain of publishers and developers will come with the now familiar system of micro-transactions.

Mythos will have many features in common with Torchlight. Both of which are inspired by the king of the genre, Diablo, to which many of the components of the development team have worked when they were part of Blizzard.
