<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/08/24/faxion-online-closing-the-doors-of-heaven-and-hell/"><em>Faxion Online</em></a> wasn't the only <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/utv-true-games/">UTV True Games</a> project to be axed following the company's acquisition by Disney. It turns out that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/mytheon/"><em>Mytheon</em></a>, too, is in the process of closing down for good.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/content/announcement-end-mytheon-live-service">In the sole announcement</a> on the <em>Mytheon </em>forums, the team posted a note that the game would be spinning down starting this past July 27th in preparation for a final shutdown at an undisclosed date in the near future. Players can no longer register for the game nor download it. <em>Mytheon </em>planned to launch in 2010 but was kept in beta testing far past the projected release date.<br />
<br />
This announcement ends on a bittersweet note: "Finally, we'd like to send out a huge thank you to all our players who've joined us on this journey. Keep challenging fate, The Mytheon Team."<br />
<br />

Casual, colorful and comical: That's the effort that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/utv-true-games/">UTV True Games</a> is putting into its growing portfolio of MMOs. From <a href="http://www.faxiononline.com/"><em>Faxion Online</em></a> to <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a>, UTV has quite a few things cooking on the stove, and we happily taste-tested new visuals and info from this year's <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gdc-2011/">Games Developer Conference</a>.<br />
<br />
First up was the PvP-centric <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/faxion-online/"><em>Faxion</em></a>, pitting the good-smelling forces of Heaven against the sulfur-sprayed armies of Hell. <em>Faxion </em>is currently prepping for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/25/snowballs-piling-up-in-hell-faxion-online-enters-its-second-clo/">its second closed beta test</a>, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/01/21/massivelys-first-look-at-faxion-online/">we've been intrigued</a> by what we've seen so far. The devs released 10 new images for the game, which you can see below:<br />

The marketing for <a href="http://www.utvtruegames.com/">UTV True Games</a>' <a href="http://mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> MMO is building to a simmering boil, much like the Greek god Zeus' slow-burning anger over the ungrateful disobedience of his mortal children. <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/mytheon"><em>Mytheon</em></a> developer <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/01/25/mytheon-releases-class-trailer-and-internal-qanda/">Q&amp;As</a>, closed beta <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/03/mytheon-closed-beta-starts-today/">announcements</a>, and class trailers are all present and accounted for, and today they're joined by the latest video sneak peek: a new trailer featuring the thunder god himself.<br />
<br />
<em>Mytheon</em> is an action MMO that mixes strategy with classical mythology, so it's only natural that Zeus take center stage in both the game and its public awareness campaign. The new trailer lacks gameplay footage and focuses entirely on CG elements, but the stage is nonetheless set for what appear to be epic battles between Zeus and his errant spawn (i.e., <em>Mytheon</em> players).<p><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/02/09/new-mytheon-trailer-features-the-wrath-of-zeus/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New Mytheon trailer features the wrath of Zeus</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/02/09/new-mytheon-trailer-features-the-wrath-of-zeus/">New Mytheon trailer features the wrath of Zeus</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 09 Feb 2011 19:00:00 EST.

Stonecasters of the world unite! <a href="http://www.utvtruegames.com/">UTV True Games</a> is kicking off the start of <a href="http://mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon's</em></a> closed beta by inviting back previous testers as well as new ones. If you're one of the former, you'll find that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/01/25/mytheon-releases-class-trailer-and-internal-qanda/">quite a few changes</a> have come to the F2P fantasy game. If you're new and looking to get started with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/mytheon"><em>Mytheon's</em></a> beta, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/utv-true-games">UTV</a> has the sign-up form <a href="http://mytheon.gamigo.com//">front and center</a> on its official website.

<br />
<em>Mytheon</em> is an action MMORPG that mixes strategy with elements of classical mythology. The game has undergone a lengthy development process and has even survived a source code-related <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/06/01/petroglyph-and-true-games-resolve-lawsuit-announce-launch-date/">legal spat</a> between UTV and <a href="http://www.petroglyphgames.com/">Petroglyph</a> (the title's original developer).

What's next for the makers of <a href="http://mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> now that its <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/01/06/utv-moves-mytheon-development-to-china-hints-at-upcoming-closed/">trans-continental relocation</a> quest is complete? How about a new class trailer and a lengthy internal interview session detailing various behind-the-scenes development initiatives? The clip sports some pretty high production values as well as in-game footage related to the Warcaster, Eidolon, and Elementalist classes. While the video is fairly short, it does whet our appetites for more footage from the forthcoming free-to-play fantasy title.<br />
<br />

The latest chapter in the saga of the free-to-play action MMO called <a href="http://mytheongame.com"><em>Mytheon</em></a> features a lengthy quest across a vast ocean and two continents -- and that's before a player even logs into the game. In a press release dated earlier this morning, Texas-based <a href="http://www.utvtruegames.com/">UTV True Games</a> announced the relocation of <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/mytheon"><em>Mytheon</em></a> development to its internal studio in Beijing.<br />
<br />
<em>"Moving the development of </em>Mytheon<em> to our internal studio is a very positive move for the game because we have total creative control over the title and we can tailor </em>Mytheon's<em> content to the preferences and needs of the community that has already grown around it</em>," said <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/utv-true-games">UTV</a> CEO Jeff Lujan. Some of said content tailoring is taking the form of improved guild functionality, camera controls, and tweaks to the various stones and stone types. For the uninitiated, <em>Mytheon</em> players are referred to as Stonecasters after their ability to combine and cast magical stones in battle.<br />
<br />
In addition to the studio move, UTV has announced that a new closed beta phase will begin in late January. Previous testers will be contacted via email and will be able to use their existing accounts to access the new phase.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2011/01/06/utv-moves-mytheon-development-to-china-hints-at-upcoming-closed/">UTV moves Mytheon development to China, hints at upcoming closed beta</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 06 Jan 2011 13:30:00 EST.

I'm a simple man. I need a strong cup of coffee in the morning, walks with my two dogs, a kiss from my wife -- and giants. <em>Lots of giants</em>. <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> is a perfect game for a simple man like me. It installs easily and the controls are basic. It is by no means perfect, but I am not sure that it is trying to be. Like me, it's <em>simple</em>. It wants you to control miniature armies of centaurs, cyclopses and skeletons, and it wants you to kill things while controlling that army.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">With the US launch of <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> slated to hit its official launch date of July 13th, and the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/06/01/petroglyph-and-true-games-resolve-lawsuit-announce-launch-date/">lawsuit</a> seeming to be a thing of the past, the teams behind <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/Mytheon/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> have been working on trying to send this upcoming free-to-play fantasy MMO across the pond. Well, today we've gotten news that <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/gamigo/">Gamigo</a> will be picking up the overseas publishing while <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/True-Games/">UTV True Games</a> handles the North American servers. Yes indeed -- those across the pond who were waiting to see if they'd have an option to check out <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Petroglyph/">Petroglyph</a>'s MMO based on various bits of world mythology will get a chance to play as well. <br />
<br />
To add to this news, they've also released a video and a bundle of new screenshots for people who may not have seen the polish put on <em>Mytheon</em> as it nears launch. EU players can register for the closed beta <a href="http://mytheon.gamigo.com">on the Gamigo site</a>, whereas US players should head over to the <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/">UTV True Games site</a> to get in on the action. Meanwhile, as those clients are downloading, don't forget to check behind the break for the video, or click through the gallery below for all the new eye-candy. <br />

After months of wrangling over development and source code followed by a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/06/01/petroglyph-and-true-games-resolve-lawsuit-announce-launch-date/">lawsuit that was settled in record time</a>, <a href="http://www.utvtruegames.com/">True Games</a> and <a href="http://www.petroglyphgames.com/">Petroglyph</a> are moving quickly to meet <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a>'s planned launch date of July 13th.<br />
<br />
The latest announcement from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/mytheon/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> comes in the form of the "<a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/champions">Champions of <em>Mytheon</em></a>" purchase option, a lifetime subscription offer with plenty of extras. There are 2,000 Champions packages available, and well worth it for those who pay the $129.99 price tag. <br />
<br />
Champions of <em>Mytheon</em> includes a long list of extras both in-game and out, from a t-shirt, hat, keychain, and poster, to early game access, exclusive weapons, and even a mention in the game credits. Check out the <em>Mytheon</em> site for the <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/champions">full list of items</a> included with the lifetime package.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2010/06/09/mytheon-introduces-lifetime-subscription-package/">Mytheon introduces lifetime subscription package</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:00:00 EST.

The last major news we heard about fantasy MMO <a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> was regarding a <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/05/11/true-games-interactive-sues-petroglyph-for-mytheon-source-code/">legal skirmish</a>. Publisher <a href="http://www.utvtruegames.com/">True Games</a> was suing developer <a href="http://www.petroglyphgames.com/">Petroglyph</a> for the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/mytheon"><em>Mytheon</em></a> source code, citing a long list of actions on Petroglyph's part which prevented the game from seeing release.<br />
<br />
In a surprise announcement, the two companies announced today that they have resolved their differences and are set for a July 13th launch. While it seems like a dangerously short leap from lawsuit to launch, keep in mind that <em>Mytheon</em> was originally scheduled to be ready for release last November.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/chuck-kroegel">Chuck Kroegel</a>, CEO of Petroglyph, sums up the decision:<em> "From the beginning, we have been committed to creating a critically and commercially successful online game that brings something fresh to this space. Despite the fact that neither company acknowledged or admitted any wrongdoing, both companies recognized this mutual agreement as the right step, especially for the players with the official release of </em>Mytheon<em> to the world this summer. We've received a great deal of positive feedback on the game, from both the media and the community, and we encourage online gaming fans to jump into the ongoing open beta test and experience</em> Mytheon<em>'s unique gameplay and amazing mythological world."</em><br />

<em>Every two weeks, </em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/massively-mobile/"><em>Massively Mobile</em></a><em> brings you the latest news, guides and analysis about MMOs on mobile devices. Covering iPhone, iPad and Android platforms, we're on the lookout for the next generation of MMOs.<br />
</em> <br />
In the last column, I covered <a href="http:// http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/05/16/massively-mobile-iphone-apps-for-your-favorite-mmos/">a number of iPhone apps for MMOs</a>. Some kept you connected to the game world, others offered you information at your fingertips, while still others were entire games unto themselves. Today I continue with the second half of the list starting with <a href="http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/"><em>Final Fantasy XI</em></a> all the way through <a href="https://www.wizard101.com/"><em>Wizard101</em></a>. In the next Massively Mobile column, I will focus specifically on <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> mobile apps for both the iPhone and the Android.<br />
<br />
I have to admit that in the process of researching this column, I became obsessed with one particular app, <a href="http://www.warriorepicsagas.com/"><em>Warrior Epic: Sagas</em></a>. I don't even play the MMO, but I found the app to be one I returned to again and again throughout the week. It's very addictive, has an engaging storyline and is a dream come true for equipment micromanagers like myself. Check it out along with the rest of the apps after the jump.<p><a href="http://www.massively.com/2010/05/30/massively-mobile-iphone-apps-for-your-favorite-mmos-part-2/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Massively Mobile: iPhone apps for your favorite MMOs part 2</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2010/05/30/massively-mobile-iphone-apps-for-your-favorite-mmos-part-2/">Massively Mobile: iPhone apps for your favorite MMOs part 2</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 30 May 2010 16:00:00 EST.

<a href="http://www.mytheongame.com/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> wants to know: what's your poison? Do you want a tall glass of beatdown with live players, or a cooperative shot of teamwork in a PvE environment? We haven't heard a lot about this title over the past year, but Petroglyph is increasing the game's profile as launch looms for this "online multiplayer action RPG." As the beta period winds to a close, the devs are excited to reveal the game's two primary modes: PvP and Co-Op play.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/mytheon/"><em>Mytheon</em></a> appears to lean toward PvP, as Petroglyph emphasizes both the PvP arenas and PvP scenarios. The arenas -- such as the Ring of Destiny and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Olympus">Olympus</a> -- are ranked, and come in either 1v1 or 2v2 varieties. If 4v4 is more your style, then head on over to one of their three PvP scenarios, such as the Forest of Despair. However, Co-Op mode is available for a different flavor of gameplay, challenging two teams of players to compete against each other in a PvE setting until there's only one victor, who then fights a unique scenario boss. All of these modes offer experience and loot as a matter of course.<br />
<br />
Producer Randy King encourages players to find their own style:<em> "Giving players the ability to group together, or play against each other was only the start. It was important to us to use the rich setting of <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1270572640_13">Greek mythology</span> to provide these incredible scenarios that they can experience with others."</em><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.massively.com"><img src="http://www.massively.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.massively.com/2010/04/06/mytheon-has-both-pvp-and-co-op-on-the-menu/">Mytheon has both PvP and Co-Op on the menu</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.massively.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 06 Apr 2010 16:00:00 EST.
