Mythos was a game under development by a division of Flagship Studios commonly called "Flagship Seattle". An online RPG, similar in style to the Diablo games, the game was used to test the networking technology behind the multiplayer component of Hellgate: London.
It was expected to be free to play and download, although the financing model was never set in stone. Following the layoffs at Flagship Studios due to the financial issues, the intellectual property rights over Mythos have now been claimed by the Korean company Hanbitsoft, which was offered as collateral for loans earlier in the year. Additionally, Mythos lead designer Travis Baldree and Flagship Studios co-founder Max Schaefer have subsequently formed the new game company Runic Games along with the remaining staff of 14 behind the game from Flagship Seattle.
Runic Games developed the Diablo-like action RPG Torchlight.
There are rumours Hanbitsoft is planning to release a worked-on version of Mythos in EU/US next year.
