Looking to get your Mythos fix prior to the game's 2011 release? Look no further than the just-released trailer courtesy of Frogster. The video, which runs a little over a minute and a half, serves as both a teaser and the upcoming free-to-play MMO's opening cinematic.
Mythos, a throw-back dungeon crawler, has somewhat of a checkered history, given that it was originally developed by now-defunct Flagship Studios before being shuttered and subsequently kick-started by HanbitSoft. The game is now being published by Redbana in North America and Frogster in Europe, and it features solo and group PvP, three distinct classes, and a unique visual style inspired by comic books.
Check out our interview with the Mythos dev team and don't forget to sample the trailer after the cut.

I actually dig the art style, nice to see 2-D styled artwork instead of all the ubiquitous 3D. But I have to agree... the script and voice acting are pretty amateur.

That was so bad, it reminded me of what a quirky friend of mine would make . . . IN HIGH SCHOOL!

[Insert another "Zomg this was so bad" message here.]
Because apparently there needs to be over a dozen comments about how bad it is.

Think about it, at least this is the first trailer that doesn't overhype their game with great quality CG that has nothing to do with the actual game. Setting the expectation bar so low we might be actually surprised...
But it's "F2P" so no thanks.

Lol it's like one of those terrible anime movies with horrible art (and a total lack of animation!) that get translated to Engrish in a hurry and make no sense whatsoever.
Still at least they're doing us all a favour by warning us off with this awful trailer, because with its already chequered history I can't imagine that the game will be any better.

This proves that anyone can become a game director.

If that's the opening cinematic, then I must thank Frogster and Redbana from saving me the time (and money?) of trying this game at release.
If it starts out that poorly, I really don't have any interest in getting any further into Mythos...shame, it was good fun and had a great sense of humor back in beta with FS.
That trailer is like the Hindenberg...you're horrified but you can't stop watching...

My favorite part was the frozen birds endlessly floating up to the top of the screen starting at around the half way point of the video.

Terrible isnt quite strong enough of a word.

Flagship Seattle did a great job with Mythos. Also, Hellgate: London may have not been the best game ever, but it had absolutely amazing cinematics. This was just horrible.

Oh my god. This was so bad I cannot even start describing how awfully bad it was.
This was a hype destroyer!
That is the quality we can expect?
Is this what they think will convince us to play or attract new players? Are they serious?
