Double news for fans of Mythic Quest, the work-comedy TV series set in a video game development studio. Apple TV+, in fact, announced the release date of Mythic Quest 4 and also the first season of Side Quest, an anthology series that acts as a spinoff, or rather expansion of the world of this series. But let’s go in order.
