Cyan has announced that its upcoming remake of Myst will release on August 26th. In order to celebrate this announcement, the team has also released a new trailer that you can find below.
Built from the ground up to play in VR and flatscreen PC, players will explore Myst in a whole new dimension. Players will journey to the Ages, unravel puzzles, and be a part of the surrealistic adventure that will become their own.
Powered by Unreal Engine, this newly-reimagined version of Myst includes fresh takes on the visuals in every area in the game. The game promises to offer a large number of graphics options to choose from. Not only that, but it will also support Ray Tracing effects.
Enjoy!

omg remake riven already.
Yes!
Because… why not?
Man they should have done it like the original. Make insane detailed cgi movies that you would never be able to play with stable framerates. It would have looked way better than this.
How many times have they remade this game now?
Twice but that was like 20 years ago…
I had the original hypercard cd edition on my Performa 550 back in the day
Looks nice.
Looking forward to it!
Hopefully Riven is next…
As much as I like Myst (I still own the big box for “Ages of Myst”), I still think that this is not truly needed. We truly live in post-creativity era where nowadays we only get remakes/remasters of good old things cause rarely anyone is bothering to create something new.
Always wanted to check out this franchise, but it always looked and felt terribly double A in a bad way :/
“Built from the ground up to play in VR and flatscreen PC”
But they couldn’t care to put a character on screen to interact with stuff? I really hate games where you play as a hover camera. Looks mobile af.
By the way, I want to mention that this game was already rendered in full-3D in 2014, and it was called “realMyst: Masterpiece Edition”. You can find it on Steam.
It seems to be always disregarded and forgotten, but so far, it was the best version of Myst imho.
It’s not looking as good as this one but it respects more the original art, so it’s worth a try if you don’t like the new look. (graphics are still too bright in general though.)
For some reason, I could never find this game interesting enough to complete it though.
