True Games Announces Mytheon

2008_12_03_myth.jpgMMO publisher True Games Interactive has announced their second title (following the announcement of Warrior Epic)—an "online action strategy game" Mytheon, developed by Petroglyph, the developer behind Star Wars: Empire at War and Universe at War.

Mytheon is to be Petroglyph's first online title to use micro-transactions, and is to launch in fall 2009.

Mytheon is to be set within a mythological fantasy universe, and is to feature real-time combat, customization, group, player vs. player and solo play, and an integrated social networking feature set."

In the game, players are to collect and customize a "power stones" which are used to create spells and summon minions for battles against monsters. The title is to offer three classes, each specializing in one type of power stone.

"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."
