Flagship Studios announce the establishment of Flagship Seattle and first title...
Development has yet to conclude on Flagship's debut title, the hugely anticipated Hellgate: London; however, that hasn't deterred the developer from branching out with the establishment of a new subsidiary studio based in Seattle.
Imaginatively entitled Flagship Seattle, the studio is headed by Travis Baldree who previously worked at Wild Tangent as a lead designer on the free-to-play RPG Fate.
Flagship Seattle is currently at work on Mythos, an online RPG that will be used to put the networking technology and multiplayer components to the test in anticipation of Hellgate: London. Mythos will also be distributed via Flagship's Ping0 digital distribution platform, appearing across North America and Europe during 2007.
"We were very impressed with the work of Travis from when we were first shown Wild Tangent's Fate at E3 2005", said Phil Shenk, Creative Director of Mythos and founding member of Flagship Studios. "Both he and the Flagship Seattle team have an exceptional pedigree in games development. Their skills and expertise make them real assets."
"To be involved in the formation of Flagship Seattle is an honor", said Travis Baldree, Project Director of Flagship Seattle. "We are sure that Mythos will put Flagship Seattle on the map, and in turn will become an integral part of the Flagship Studios experience".
