This title is still a year away, but many more gaming sites are making the rounds to dig up details on the newly-announced Myth III: The Wolf Age, the upcoming prequel to Bungie's Myth and Myth II. Daily Radar has posted a quick Q&A with Scott Campbell from Mumbo Jumbo, the company formed to develop the title. The interview covers topics such as Myth's dedicated fanbase, new features added in the prequel, and a new character called a Trow Iron Warrior. Here's a quick excerpt:

DR: What new feature has you most excited about Myth III?

SC: The incorporation of 3D unit models. This will completely change the look of the game. Having units that react with the landscape (like leaning forward as they walk up slopes), react to enemies (like turning to look at advancing foes), and having fluid animation from any angle and zoom level, will give the game a awe-inspiring appearance to match its already cutting-edge gameplay.

Despite these changes, for the time being, the Myth III development team is using Bungie's venerable Fear and Loathing tools, though Scott Campbell said Mumbo Jumbo won't be sticking with these for long: "We are planning on doing a merger of the tools later on, something that will be used specifically for Myth III and something that is far more robust and actually cross-platform compatible. We're actually making tools right now that we will be using for Myth III that are not only cross-platform compatible, but will also allow you to do all the neat new things, use all the new scripting commands and the new models and 3D units and stuff that we're using in this game." Though it's unknown whether these tools will actually ship with the game, Campbell promises that if they're not in the box, they will be made available later on.
