New trailer for Mytheon, an upcoming online multiplayer action RPG, based on Greek mythology. Shows Zeus, god of sky and thunder, in a rampage after his human children dare defy him. Pure CGI, no gameplay footage.
The life cycle of an online rpg is normally rather straightforward. After the game is initially envisioned, it'll be developed and go through several alpha and beta testing phases. Once such testing is complete, the online game is released to the masses to enjoy. Some mmos last for an extremely long time, but quite a few peak and then fade away after a short period. There are even those that don't even make it out of beta testing, as the recent news for Triad Wars can attest to. Once an mmo has shut down, it's considered dead and buried, never to see the light of day again. Yet, one such game, Mytheon, has done that. There has been a Mytheon rebirth as the once free mmo has been transformed into a pay-to-play game for sale on Steam.
