Would You Look At That: Mytheon Shutting Down

If you haven’t heard of Mytheon, it was developed by Petroglyph, the company behind the upcoming End of Nations and Rise of Immortals MMOs. Alright, you haven’t heard of Mytheon. Turns out neither has the rest of the press (including myself) because Mytheon announced it would be shutting down way back in July and none of us noticed until just this week.

For those thinking of getting one last shot in before the game goes down, don’t bother. It’s already offline, since when I can’t say for sure. Mytheon’s twitter account hasn’t been updated since April. Mytheon was such a small launch that I’m not even sure the game ever fully left open beta. How embarrassing for us.

Hopefully the development team at Mytheon was able to find work in Petroglyph’s other upcoming projects. Mytheon may have flown so far under the radar that it was picked off by a wayward swingset, but it’s always a tragedy when people not only lose their jobs but see the project they’ve worked on for years crumble at the push of a button.
