Myth III: The Wolf Age announced! { Lophan }

Originally broken by Blues News, word has come out that the next incarnation of the Myth series will be coming from publisher and new rights owner God Games supposedly in the month of October 2001 (info is sketchy). Here's a C&P snippet of the juicy info:
...perhaps you would prefer to control the strategy. Myth III: The Wolf Age allows you to do just that. The game is the highly anticipated prequel to the two original Myth games from Bungie Software. It takes place 1000 years before the start of Myth: The Fallen Lords and follows the life of Connacht - the legendary hero who saved humanity from the insidious Myrkindia [sic] and the oppressive Trow, eventually becoming the emperor of all human lands. Myth III explores the daunting past before the Great War and the destructive clashes between the races.

In 1421 AE, the world is in sheer chaos. The nightmare, Myrkindia [sic], runs rampant over the lands. The Trow enslave the Ogre to build titanic temples to their god. A new Leveler, claiming to be Moagim reborn, has just risen and swears to smash the empire of Cath Bruig. Most of humanity has been scattered for hundreds of years, existing in war tribes who hide in fear of the evil creatures who stalk the night. Myth III: The Wolf Age will live up to even the most critical Myth fan's expectations, yet is immediately engaging and easy-to-learn for the first time strategy player.

Stomped has recently reported that GoD will be issuing a formal announcement at next week's MacWorld expo in San Francisco. Apparently an official Myth III site is in the works but as yet has not been posted (check it here).

GREAT NEWS! The speculation and rumor mill will certainly pick this one up and run with it prior to any official announcement. The developer has not been officially announced but the name "Mumbo Jumbo" has been thrown around, albeit no one seems to know who they are. Let us only hope that whoever does get the nod will carry on the fine tradition and rich storyline which Bungie has created with this classic series. In the meantime, head on over to our forums and let the speculation begin!
