Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft

Posted by simoniker on Thursday February 12, 2004 @03:59PM from the dead-before-being-alive dept.

Ivan writes "Microsoft announced that it has cancelled Mythica, its internally developed massively multiplayer PC RPG with a Nordic twist. The official website has the formal cancellation announcement, but additionally, 1UP spoke with MS reps who gave a few more details, noting 'the company had two MMORPG projects in development -- Mythica, and an as-yet-unannounced title. Rather than support the development and eventual maintenance of two MMORPGs in an already crowded and highly competitive market, Microsoft cancelled Mythica to make room for its other game.'"

Good thing this isn't the Matrix by BenSpinSpace · 2004-02-12 16:03 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Good thing that video games aren't just more Matrix worlds... or else every cancellation would mean the deaths of thousands of people currently in beta form. And, following then trend of the Matrix movies themselves, any sequels would be spectacularly crappy.
