A game once thought lost in the downfall of now defunct developer Flagship Studios was lifted from the studio's remains and today makes its way to players with the official launch of Mythos Europe. "Early Access" for retail pre-orders began on Tuesday, but today you can head over to the official website and download the game for free if you decided to wait. There are no monthly fees to play Mythos, but players can choose to take advantage of items via an in-game item shop. The gaming client is available in English, German, French, Polish and Turkish languages, each with its own server. You can signup to play for free on the official Mythos Europe website. Check out the official press release after the break for more details.
