Wow, just saw this on the web:
Seattle, WA
Bungie, the computer and console game maker, has re-acquired the rights to one of its classic series of games, the Myth trilogy, which comprises Myth: The Fallen Lords, Myth II: Soulblighter, and Myth 3: The Wolf Age.
"We're thrilled to bring our beloved Myth series back into the fold," Jason Jones of Bungie said via conference call from his iPhone. "We have amazing plans for the franchise."
Jones said they plan to overhaul, or "remaster," all three titles and re-release them as Myth Unleashed versions of each for the Xbox 360 as well as for Windows, Mac, and iPhone. "We're especially excited about the iPhone port," noted Jones. Current plans are for a simultaneous release of all three titles on each platform. "This is not going to be merely a beautification project -- though we will be using the latest in computer graphics, we are adding many additional levels to all three games." Jones said they will remain true to the original story throughout.
But Bungie, one of the industry's most innovative game houses, isn't stopping there. "We have thrown tremendous resources at a fourth Myth title, tentatively called Myth IV: The Wind Age." Bungie hopes to have Myth IV ready by next summer, 2010.
Jones expressed excitement at having what he called his all-time favorite games back under Bungie's roof. "I just love the Myth series," he says wistfully. "Many of us still play it online at Mariusnet, a free game server that still hosts Myth and Marathon games, and some of us are even admins at Mariusnet."
I still can't believe it. Friggin' awesome!

I was on to you, Frum, but have to say you really did a professional job with it -- was very convincing!
Remind me to ask you if I ever need any forged press releases.

Ironically(?) TS, there actually IS a team allegedly developing a new Myth II Campaign which they insist on calling "Myth 4: The Wind Age".
I say 'allegedly' because the project has been in development for YEARS and so far there is very little to show for it other than lots of grandiose claims on forums about how magnificent and grande it will be.
