Newly Formed Flagship Seattle to release casual RPG Mythos in 2007
Flagship Studios today announced that it has expanded operations with
the formation of a new development studio: Flagship Seattle. Flagship
Studios is already one of the most respected independent video game
developers in North America. The creation of Flagship Seattle plays an
integral part in the company's development plans.
The studio is
led by Travis Baldree, Project Director. Baldree previously worked at
Wild Tangent as the Lead Designer on the popular free-to-play
role-playing game Fate. Flagship Seattle has a diverse history of game
development. Other team members have worked on titles including Total
Annihilation, Dungeon Siege and SWAT 3.
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.
"We were very impressed with the work of Travis from
when we were first shown Wild Tangent's Fate at E3 2005", said Phil
Shenk, Creative Director of Mythos and founding member of Flagship
Studios. "Both he and the Flagship Seattle team have an exceptional
pedigree in games development. Their skills and expertise make them
real assets."
"To be involved in the formation of Flagship
Seattle is an honor", said Travis Baldree, Project Director of Flagship
Seattle. "We are sure that Mythos will put Flagship Seattle on the map,
and in turn will become an integral part of the Flagship Studios
experience".
