Travis Baldree, Project Lead and Programmer on Mythos created a thread on the official Mythos forum to bid his farewells to the Mythos community and other members of the Mythos team have since added their heartfelt goodbyes to the thread.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
Let's take a look at the loot-based shooter that started it all and set the path for Destiny 2 and the Borderlands franchise.
It's a shame Hellgate: London did so poorly. It was an interesting game, and well worth a sequel.
Shame this game showed so much promise. (free diablo kinda game) I'd only just applied for the beta after reading about it on N4G.com.
Anyone recommend another game of the same ilk?
Very sad indeed. I really loved playing this game in BETA. There was a lot of great gaming in store for us.
"Dungeon Runners" is pretty similar, but my personal feeling is that Mythos just did everything better than Dungeon Runners. I will probably give DR another shot. My guess is that a ton of stuff has improved than the last time I played.
Thank you Flagship and thank you to the Mythos team. Best wishes to you all in your upcoming endeavors.
