Colchis, Shattered Isle and Dominion of Hades Illustrate the Breathtaking
Locations in the Upcoming Online Action RPG
Irvine, CA - November 5, 2009 - Global online game publisher,
True Games Interactive, with its partner
Petroglyph, announced today the first details and released the first screenshots
focusing on three of the many unique environments in
Mytheon, its highly-anticipated, online
multiplayer action-role-playing game. This newly released information will
provide players an in-depth look at the legendary environments they will
encounter when they first enter the game.
Colchis
Players will travel to the distant land of Colchis, once home to the famed
Golden Fleece, now protecting Argos. Two distinct regions form the land of
Colchis - the cast Fallow Field and the Grove of Ares.
Jason and his Argonauts braved many dangers there to claim their prize,
including an epic battle against the Colchian Dragon who guarded the fleece.
Since their victory over the dragon, the sacred grove has become infiltrated
with fierce warriors of Ares, the god of war. The dusty furrows of the Fallow
Field are dotted with the skeletal remains of dead trees; now home to carrion
creatures that prey upon the unwary. Remnants of a city lie just beyond the
field's borders, long abandoned by its inhabitants and now overrun with
diabolical beasts. What was once a thriving marketplace, surrounded by the homes
of the townspeople, now lies uninhabited.
The Shattered Isle
The Shattered Isle is home to Poseidon, the supreme ruler of oceans and
earthquakes. The isle is also home to Amphitrite, Poseidon's beloved wife, and
their son, Triton. Together, the family forms a triad symbolic of the ocean's
tranquility, treachery, and unrelenting dominion. These qualities are reflected
in the domains over which they preside. The island features a diverse geography;
from craggy, impassable cliffs to rolling meadows and gardens. While Amphitrite
resides in the peaceful Nereid's Garden where the sparkling ponds and fountains
reflect the tranquility of the sea, Triton presides over his namesake cove
amidst the foam and crashing surf. Within the Temple of Poseidon, the vengeful
sea god prepares his minions for the coming battle with mankind. The skeletal
remains of past invaders lie half buried in the sands surrounding crumbling
columns and scarred boulders. Waterfalls cascade down stone ledges, casting a
fine spray that coats the rocky surfaces and foliage.
The Dominion of Hades
The Dominion of Hades is the epicenter of Hades' power in the Underworld. From
this dark, luxurious palace, Hades and his queen, Persephone, rule the
Underworld without mercy. The Dominion of Hades is a monument to death and
destruction. Home to the immortal god of earthly wealth - Hades, lord of the
dead, rules his realm with an iron fist. Gloomy corridors and cavernous halls
exude an eerie sense of foreboding to those who would risk entry within. Divided
into three great regions - the Hall of the Dead, the Garden of the Furies, and
the Court of Hades, Stonecasters must embark deep into this fiery stronghold and
face perilous legions of undead monsters in order to confront Hades himself, his
power enhanced within his own domain.
Developed by Petroglyph, Mytheon offers a unique online game play experience
that combines the best elements of the Action-RPG genre with strategic combat
and collectability. Players will challenge legendary mythological gods by
wielding potent and unique "Power Stones" that transform into spells, structures
and creatures. Players can loot, forge, buy, sell and trade these stones among a
thriving online community, then cast the stones during epic battles that play
out in a visually stunning 3D mythological world.
