Mythos Pyromancer Class Announced, Release This Year

I've been following Mythos off and on since its inception.  It's an interesting history.  I first heard about the game around 2007 and remember it being developed by ex-Blizzard/Diablo team members.  At the time, that was an offshoot of Flagship Studios.  The game, also very much like Diablo from what I saw, went into closed beta soon after, but before open beta could ever occur, the company folded.  That team went on to form Runic Games and put out the excellent title Torchlight last year.  The rights to the game were picked up by Korean dev Hanbitsoft, and they've been working on resurrecting Mythos.

So, here we are now.  Mythos, published by Redbana in the US, has an expected release data in the US later this year, and the closed beta should be starting soon.  It looks like Hanbitsoft has taken the focus of the game to be more online (MMO) oriented.  From looking at the trailer though (below), it seems the core Diablo-like gameplay is completely intact.  Looks like another great entry into the genre, and one more thing that will help ease the wait for Diablo III.
