Flasgship Studios today announced a new casual RPG called Mythos, can;t really tell you much about it other than what's quoted below and the fact the Project Director is Travis Baldree who was formerly lead designer of Fate, a very popular free to play RPG.

Flagship Seattle is currently working on Mythos, an online role-playing game that will be used to test the networking technology behind the multiplayer component of the highly-anticipated action role-playing game Hellgate: London. Mythos will be digitally distributed by Flagship Studios subsidiary Ping0, LLC in North America and Europe in 2007. HanbitSoft, Flagship Studios’ partner in Ping0, will be responsible for distributing Mythos in Asia.

There's a single Mythos screenshot in the gallery.

If this game will be used to test things for Hellgate: London and it's not due until 2007, when is Hellgate: London likely to ship?
