Mythica was a never-released massively multiplayer online role-playing game (or "MMORPG") based on Norse mythology. It was under development by Microsoft Game Studios (MGS) for Windows-running PCs until it was cancelled in early 2004. The game had been under development for over two years and had a development staff of 40 at the time of cancellation.
A few basic things were known about Mythica. As with most MMORPGs, one would have needed to purchase the game software and then subscribe to the game service, paying a monthly fee. Development screenshots showed a rich 3D environment. Microsoft had begun promoting the game; the company had hosted a party at GenCon for fans.
In December 2003, Microsoft was sued for trademark infringement and unfair competition by Mythic Entertainment, the developers of the competing MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. Mythic claimed in the lawsuit that the terms "Mythic" and "Mythica" were so close as to cause consumer confusion, thus infringing on Mythic's trademark.
