The marketing for UTV True Games' Mytheon MMO is building to a simmering boil, much like the Greek god Zeus' slow-burning anger over the ungrateful disobedience of his mortal children. Mytheon developer Q&As, closed beta announcements, 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.
Mytheon 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., Mytheon players).
If they are basing this on Greek Mythology why did they have the Eye of Ra on the shield at the end of the video? The Eye of Ra is Egyptian Mythology not Greek Mythology.
The game itself mixes a variety of mythologies, so everything tends to get a bit muddled. It was interesting when I tried the last beta, and if they ever add a Norse-influenced class, I'm there like shareware.
