Mythica

Mythica is a cancelled PC game by Microsoft. It was to be an MMO comprised of North mythology.

Plot
You would play as a fallen hero in the afterlife. To achieve godhood you would need to complete quests and raid dungeons.

Gameplay
You can control various demi-gods, each with their own powers and abilities. With these can take out various Norse monsters, such as Jörmungandr (the Migdard Serpent). To enter Valhalla you need to win the final battle: Ragnarok.

You can either play solo or with a group of friends.

Cancellation
Microsoft found itself in hot water when Mythic Entertainment sued them for copyright. Microsoft then conceded and pulled the plug on the MMO, saying that the genre was crowded.
