Flagship Studios has announced a closed beta program for its upcoming MMORPG title Mythos. They have also sent 'round a few new screenshots taken from the game's beta version.

The program begins with today's opening of the game's global beta test phase. Mythos will be tested in multiple phases and the first set of beta testers will be notified by Flagship Studios via email. Those who want to join the closed beta can sign up at the game's official website.

"The opening of the closed beta program is a real milestone in the development of Mythos," said Phil Shenk, Creative Director of Mythos and founding member of Flagship Studios, "With its simple pick-up-and-play gameplay and an ever-expanding universe, the beta test will offer players their first opportunity to experience the Mythos universe before the commercial release later this year."
