In order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Myst, Cyan announced that it will release updated versions of all the Myst games later this year. So far, there have been six Myst games (excluding Obduction which was a spiritual successor). These six games were: Myst, Riven, Myst III: Exile, Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, Myst IV: Revelation and Myst V: End of Ages.
As Cyan stated, over the last few years it has been working to procure the rights to make all of the Myst games available and with agreements in place, the team announced that it will be releasing updated (for Windows 10) versions of all the Myst games later this year.
“Over the last few years we’ve been working to procure the rights to make all of the Myst games available. As an indie developer, resources are limited for development, and acquiring rights isn’t always an option. But we managed to finally talk to all the right people and departments and put some funding together to try to make it happen. With agreements in place, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be releasing updated (for Windows 10) versions of all the Myst games later this year!”
Cyan also claimed that it will release a physical collection in a unique package with a cool artifact, and hinted at new Myst games (that will be not announced this year as the team will be focusing on the remastered versions of the Myst games).

Every single remaster is literally like another shrine/monument going up to the golden decade of gaming (1998-2008). I am blown away by the quality of games these days even as much as I regard AAA as the hellspawn of Satan. But over those ten years… it will be difficult to make games today that are not in some way or another a subtle tribute to titles that came out then.
This even goes back before then. I think the first Myst game came out in 1993.
1992 – 2002 was the golden decade!
This is awesome news. I played the original Myst when it 1st came out on a Performa 550 😀
Well damn. It’s been forever since I played Myst. I think it was on a 33 MHz Pentium. I don’t remember how much RAM I had but we measured RAM in MB back then. It wasn’t much. It didn’t have a video card. I can’t remember back then if anyone even had a video card.
I am cautiously optimistic about this news and want to see more before deciding but the main thing I’m concerned about is they are planning on releasing all 6 updated games this year. According to the article they started trying to procure the rights to the games years ago and managed to finally do so but how much time have they put into updating the games so far?
Will they only be spending a few months updating all 6 games? Is that enough time for a small Indie company? And how much funding have they put together?
Maybe it would have been better to release one a year and use the profits to really do a lot on the following remasters.
There is no pentium @33mhz, only 386 and 486, so probably you had one of those.
Or maybe a 66mhz penitum.
Thanks. I guess it was a 66 MHz Pentium then. It was the CPU that came right after the 80486. I had planned to buy a 80486 SX IBM (without the math co-processor) but my GF Dad gave us the Pentium PC. It had Windows 3.1 which was my first experience with Windows. Big improvement over DOS.
I can’t wait to replay Myst III: Exile. It’s been so long since the last time I’ve played the game that it will end up to be a fresh experience.
dude thats the worst myst, the most borring. They didnt even made it. Ubisoft made it and the story is trash.
Still have old Myst game on my Pentium III PC,maybe someday I’ll try to replay it when I’m bored with AAA modern games…
The ending (code) is not yet written.
