FIRST DETAILS OF MYTHEON'S PVP AND CO-OP MODES REVEALED
Stonecasters Will Fight From The Depths Of The Isle Of War To The Heights Of Mount Olympus To Test Their Command Of The Power Stones From The Fates
 AUSTIN,   TEXAS - (April 6, 2010) -- True Games Interactive, an
  international   multi-player online game developer and publisher, along
with award-winning   developer, Petroglyph, today revealed the first  details of the multiplayer   game play modes for its highly-anticipated  online, multiplayer Action RPG   with strategic game play, Mytheon,  which is now in closed beta at www.MytheonGame.com. From   the  gladiator-like "Ring of Destiny," to the secret "Isle of War," to   high in the clouds of Olympus, players can battle up to 4 versus 4   in  multiple player-versus-player (PVP)scenarios, or they can choose   to  compete in unique team-based co-operative (Co-Op)scenarios.
"PVP is an important element of an online game so we took great care to make Mytheon a fun and challenging experience," said Peter Cesario, Director of New Business and Product Development at True Games Interactive. "Beyond the expected PVP modes, we also have a unique Co-Op Mode which allows teams to work together to defeat bosses and to earn fantastic spoils and treasure."
  Players can participate in PVP by visiting Battlemaster Avitus   in Argos  where they will automatically be matched with other players who   have  also joined the PVP matching queue. By participating in PVP,   players  are automatically ranked on the Mytheon leaderboards and they   will  also receive experience from defeating other players.  Arena PVP   in  Mytheon will come in two flavors at the time of commercial launch:   1v1  and 2v2. In order to be successful in PVP scenarios, it will   be
important for teams to be comprised of unique classes with   diverse  battlesets to allow for greater flexibility to properly support   each  other.
 PVP Arenas 
Ring of Destiny (1vs1) - The Ring of   Destiny is a gladiatorial  arena
once used for sport by the god Hades and his   companions. Long since  abandoned, the arena is now used by Stonecasters to   test their  abilities against each other.
 Isle of war - For centuries,   Spartans would come to this secret isle to  duel warriors and mythological   creatures of great power to prove their  might. With Sparta under siege, the   isle is now used by mighty
Stonecasters who continue this ancient   competition.
Olympus - High above the clouds sits this arena created purely for the amusement of Zeus. With the gods distracted, brave Stonecasters travel to this arena to prove their strength and prowess.
 PVP Scenarios
The PVP scenarios in Mytheon offer   players the ability to battle up to  four on four in distinct settings   including the Forge, the Forest of  Despair and the Prison of Ares. Below is a   look at what each scenario  offers.
The Forge - Hidden deep beneath the earth, Hephaestus' private forge houses some of the most awesome and terrible creations in all of Greece, among them a great automaton known simply as the War Machine. Stonecasters beware!
Forest of Despair - The creature known as Lamia is so vile, so cruel, that even the darkest gods have shunned her. Cast into the Forest of Despair, Lamia waits for would-be heroes to cross her path in hopes of appeasing her insatiable hunger for mortal flesh.
Prison of Ares - Deep beneath Mount Olympus, two vicious captives are kept at bay in the Prison of Ares: the Beast of Fury and the Mistress of Torment. Only those most brave--some would say foolhardy--would dare venture into the prison to challenge these monstrous foes.
"Our goal throughout development of Mytheon was to ensure players have multiple ways to experience the content and lore, especially for players who want to interact with other people in the game," said Randy King, producer of Mytheon at Petroglyph. "Giving players the ability to group together, or play against each other was only the start though. It was important to us to use the rich setting of Greek mythology to provide these incredible scenarios that they can experience with others."
  Co-Op Game Play
  In addition to   standard PVP, Mytheon incorporates a very unique  team
based scenario mode.   Essentially, two teams enter and must work  together as they battle their way   through vicious creatures to  confront each other. The victorious team will   earn the right to fight  unique scenario bosses who drop epic PVP stones and   gear. Successful  teams will be comprised of classes and stone sets that   complement each  other's strengths and weaknesses.
The Warcaster, with his abundance of companions and structures, generally takes on the role of tank and can easily keep enemies distracted with multiple targets and effects. The Elementalist is a ranged damage dealer and can aid his allies by changing their damage type or other element-based buffs. The Eidolon, in most group situations, will play the healer, keeping his fellow group members alive, buffing their resistance, and raising allies from the dead if needed.
 Mytheon is an online, multiplayer Action RPG with strategic   game play  where players experience classic mythology come to life and   challenge  legendary gods to define their own fate.  Players, or   "Stonecasters," are powerful humans imbued with the ability to cast spells,   summon  minions, and erect structures that aid them in battle. An   assortment
of classes are available that approach combat differently and   offer a  range of unique, cinematic abilities.
