We've just received a press release posted by Mumbo Jumbo, the just-formed team behind Gathering of Developers' latest project, Myth III: The Wolf's Age. Along with this we also received two screen shots supposedly of polygonal character models from the game itself, although these are unsourced and are NOT official releases from Mumbo Jumbo.

One of the new features to be included in this sequel are polygonal character models, replacing the 2D bitmaps that were used in the previous two games. Although true 3D characters are common in current games, at the time of the original development of Myth and Myth II, video hardware limitations and RAM prices seemed to preclude this development. In any case, be sure and check out this screen shot and the one linked at Bungie Sightings from Evil Avatar for possible -- not official -- glimpse of the future. Myth III is on an extremely aggressive development timetable, and will be due in November 2001.
