Flagship’s Mythos now in closed alpha

Back in December, we reported that Flagship Studios was planning to test the networking technology behind the multiplayer component of Hellgate: London. In order to do that, the company asked the help of HanbitSoft Inc. and put up Ping0 (read as Ping Zero). The joint-venture, will come up with Mythos, a new MMO that will be used as a testing platform for Hellgate.

Now, Ping0 is announcing that the "Friends and Family" closed alpha for the game will commence today between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., Pacific Time. The new studio added that the opening of public testing will coincide with the launch of the official Mythos website. So if you want to be part of that project, you better apply for an invite now (via the Read link below).

Lastly, Mythos Creative Director Phil Shenk, who happens to be a founding member of Flagship Studios as well, couldn't hide his glee.

The beginning of the friends and family closed alpha is a milestone in the development of Mythos. We can't wait for the feedback from our close friends, and soon, from the larger community of dedicated Flagship fans. We are excited to be rolling out this key part of the Flagship Studios experience.
