Runic Games is a computer game company formed by Travis Baldree (creator of Fate), Max Schaefer and Erich Schaefer (co-founders of Blizzard North), and the Flagship Studios Seattle team responsible for Mythos. Following the dissolution of Flagship Studios in 2008, all 14 members of the Seattle team signed onto Runic Games,  and the company is currently developing Torchlight, an action role-playing game similar to their previous project Mythos.

Runic Games was founded in August 2008 by Travis Baldree, Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer and Peter Hu. The company formed specifically for the purpose of keeping the Mythos team together to develop a new action RPG video game.

Following the original announcement of their founding no change was seen on the official website until December of 2008. Along with a holiday message was a list of the current staff members, which had grown in number compared to the original Flagship team. One notable addition to the staff was Matt Uelmen, composer for the Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo series. As of August 2009, the company employs at least 26 people who are working on two Torchlight projects.
