Flagship Studios subsidiary Flagship Seattle has announced that its Beta for the upcoming massively multiplayer online (MMO) RPG Mythos is expanding with two brand new locations for players to explore. The grisly Bloodbristle Heath and the outpost town of Tulin's Hope will soon be open and for everyone to enjoy.

The beta for Mythos is still a closed one, but players can sign up in the official website for a chance to get in and experience the fun before the rest of the world can. Flagship Seattle intends to make this fantasy world free to play for all to experience.

"Since testing began in July, the team at Flagship Seattle has been working with our dedicated community to fine-tune the Mythos experience," said Max Schaefer, Executive Producer of Mythos and founding member of Flagship Studios. "With its addictive Diablo-style gameplay and simple learning curve, Mythos can be enjoyed in short bursts or for hours on end."

While details on Bloodbristle Heath and Tulin's Hope have been sparse, Flagship Seattle did say that the two locales are only the first of many more to come. They intend to make Mythos accessible and ever-expanding to keep players glued for non-linear quests and interaction with fellow users.

"We look forward to the continued support of our community and welcome new testers to Mythos' world of Uld," says Schaefer as he invites all interested participants to take part in an adventure that will have them raiding dungeons and battling bosses for treasures and glory.

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."

Not much has been said about Flagship's MMO offering, Mythos. The last time we talked about it, it was in its closed alpha stage and now we've received word that Flagship has revealed some details about the game. Apparently, the devs are saying that they started with the revolutionary style of gameplay that they pioneered in the Diablo franchise and to make the game more accessible, they offered it as a free download and play.

According to Phil Shenk, the creative director of Mythos, "through the continued support of the Flagship community, we are striving to create what will be one of the most innovative role-playing games of recent years."

The game has its setting in the land of Uld. Players assume the roles of fantasy heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest through entirely randomized dungeons and environments. You could select one of three races (Human, Elves, or Gremlins) and opt to play as a particular character class using a huge variety of skills and items. Through heroic quests players search for gold, gems, armor, and weapons, while unlocking the secrets of Uld. Mythos presents a constantly expanding, continuously updated world where something new lurks around every corner.

The game will be digitally distributed in North America and Europe in 2007 by Ping0. HanbitSoft will be responsible for distributing Mythos in Asia.
