And there was much rejoicing. Kudos to Earendil for pointing out that Gathering of Developers has released an official press release for Myth III on their site. An industry standard PR, it nevertheless has some interesting tidbits:

Myth III: The Wolf Age is a prequel to BungieТs original Myth games. Set ten centuries prior to Myth: The Fallen Lords, the game will focus on the exploits of Connacht, the first emperor of human lands, who saved mankind from the vile Myrkridia and Trow races.

The game will set new standards for 3D RTS games through the use of true 3D characters, procedural foliage, deformable terrain, innovative network games, a powerful roster of units and an engrossing story.

Completing the team as executive producer is former Apple partnership manager Michael Donges, who was instrumental in bringing top PC titles to the Macintosh platform.

Among others. Definitely something to check out, as this officially marks the beginning of the third age of Myth. Some big shoes to fill, true, but perhaps our beloved Myth will benefit from some fresh blood. Figuratively, of course.
