Mytheon is an online micro transaction game that uniquely combines the best elements of action, strategy and RPG game-play with a heavy emphasis on collectability and combat. This visually stunning title is set within a fantasy universe steeped in unique mythologies from across the globe. Players will first embark on a rousing journey through the extensive lore of ancient Greece; with ongoing expansions to follow that will delve into exotic mythologies from the far-flung corners of history. With real-time combat and extensive customization features, Mytheon will offer infinite replayability through group, PVP and solo play as well as an integrated social networking feature set.

Using some of the best and most familiar mechanics from traditional collectible card games, players will earn, buy, trade and collect stones they can assemble similar to deck-building among a thriving online community. Several compelling features have been added to create fast, visually stunning 3D combat sequences with a deep layer of strategy beneath it. In the game, players will collect and customize a vast assortment of "Power Stones" which are used to conjure devastating spells and summon faithful minions in climactic battles against monsters and other players. Mytheon will offer three distinct character classes, each specializing in a specific "Power Stone" type, such as summoning or healing.

True Games Interactive and Petroglyph, announced that its online, multiplayer Action/RPG with strategic game play, Mytheon, which is now in closed beta, will begin its open beta Wednesday, April 28th. During this time, anyone who registers to play at the official website will be able to immediately play Mytheon. In addition, the companies have also revealed that they will offer a "Champions of Mytheon" premium package for a limited time that will offer players lifetime access to discount currency, premium offerings, exclusive, one-time only items, and sneak previews of new content before release. "Champions of Mytheon" players will also have access to an Early Play period before the official launch. The "Champions of Mytheon" package will be available for purchase in early May.

"This is an exciting time for all of us and for Mytheon as we prepare to open the flood gates and let everyone experience mythology come to life in an action setting," said Peter Cesario, director of new business and product development at True Games Interactive. "We have already witnessed the development of a thriving community and we are proud to offer them the Champions of Mytheon package which allows them to get an ever-important head start on play, exclusive goodies, and access to never before seen content that will truly make them feel like the gods."

The open beta is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, April 28th. Players will be able to enjoy the most recent content and most polished version of the game without restrictions. In addition, the cash shop items will be available for the first time during open beta for players to sample and enjoy. At various times during the open beta, players will receive "Mytheon Coins" and be able to spend them as they wish in the cash shop, on items such as armor and weapons, power stones, potions, and much more.

The "Champions of Mytheon" package" will go on sale in early May and will offer players a chance to secure their exclusive place in the Mytheon community.
