Action-Strategy and Role-Playing Into an Online Micro Transaction Game
True Games Interactive, an international
multi-player online game publisher, in conjunction with renowned game developer,
Petroglyph, today announced their new online action strategy game, Mytheon.
Developed by the team best known for the award winning Star Wars: Empire At War
and Universe at War real-time strategy games, Mytheon is Petroglyph’s first
online micro-transaction game. Several members of this prestigious developer
also played a key role in creating the original Command and Conquer series while
at Westwood Studios. Mytheon will launch in Fall 2009. For more information, and

Mytheon is an online micro transaction game that
uniquely combines the best elements of action, strategy and RPG game-play with a
heavy emphasis on collectability and combat. This visually stunning title is set
within a fantasy universe steeped in unique mythologies from across the globe.
Players will first embark on a rousing journey through the extensive lore of
ancient Greece; with ongoing expansions to follow that will delve into exotic
mythologies from the far-flung corners of history. With real-time combat and
extensive customization features, Mytheon will offer infinite replayability
through group, PVP and solo play as well as an integrated social networking
feature set.
"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."
In the game, players will collect and customize a
vast assortment of "Power Stones" which are used to conjure devastating spells
and summon faithful minions in climactic battles against monsters and other
players. Mytheon will offer three distinct character classes, each specializing
in a specific "Power Stone" type, such as summoning or healing.
"The passion and energy behind Mytheon has been
tremendous at Petroglyph. This is exciting new territory for Petroglyph to
explore"said Chuck Kroegel, CEO and General Manager of Petroglyph. "We are
making a compelling and addictive new genre that will have you fully immersed
and entertained. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner than True Games to
take this journey with us and I’m certain that together we’ll deliver a
long-lasting new franchise."
