GrE writes, "It's been a long hard journey for Mythos. Announced back in 2007, the free to play action RPG was in development by Flagship Studios, the good people behind the terrible game Hellgate London. Mythos had a rabid fan base eager to get their hands on the game as soon as possible. Hellgate London didn't have fans – and that's why Flagship Studios went under, leaving poor Mythos orphaned, and alone in the world. Korean publisher T3 Entertainment picked the game up after Flagship sank, and continued development..."
Hanbitsoft and T3Fun have announced that the open beta for their online action role-playing game, Mythos Global is now live. European fans can once again join in the action after Mythos Europe was closed down last year. Mythos is set in the land of Uld, a fantasy world arisen from the ashes of a dark and terrible war. Uld is a place where many different races live and where gods try their best to gain more power and influence among their followers.

According to the team, MYTHOS enjoyed great popularity with the launch in April and the numerous registered users ensured a good start. The desired long-term success unfortunately did not follow and under these circumstances, they have made the difficult decision to discontinue the operation of MYTHOS."
Massively: The last time we profiled Mythos on Massively, it was in service of some new content. It's no surprise, then, that Frogster is once again expanding the free-to-play hack-and-slash MMO. This time the new bells and whistles can be found on the Fog Island of Horror, and in case the name didn't drive the point home, it's a pretty scary place.
About damn time they started talking about this again...
Maybe the remnants of Flagship will finally be able to make something worth buying, unlike Hellgate: London
I have been waiting for this to launch for ages now ever since Alec Meer mentioned it in the now-defunct MMO supplement in UK PC Gamer.
They certainly are taking their sweet time with it, but there's potential here.
That game was doomed from the beginning. Combining FPS and Diablo gameplay was a horrible idea.
