Bungie made the first game ("Myth: The Fallen Lords") and the second one ("Myth II: Soulblighter"). In a way that is not unusual for Bungie, there are multiple references to Myth in Oni, from [[Music/Myth|musical themes]] to quotes and other [[Easter eggs]]. | Bungie made the first game ("Myth: The Fallen Lords") and the second one ("Myth II: Soulblighter").

The third game ("Myth III: The Wolf Age"), was developed by Mumbo Jumbo for [[Rights|Take 2]], after the Microsoft acquisition of Bungie in which Myth was acquired by T2; development was rushed and fans generally agree that the game did not fulfill its potential. | The third game ("Myth III: The Wolf Age"), was developed by Mumbo Jumbo for [[Rights|Take 2]], after the Microsoft acquisition of Bungie in which Myth was acquired by T2; development was rushed and fans generally agree that the game did not fulfill its potential. | ||
Unlike | Unlike Oni, Myth was shipped with multiplayer and was mod-ready to begin with; Bungie also released some of their development tools.

The current developer group is called Project Magma. | ||
