![]() They parterned with Ubisoft to develop what became Uru. After finishing Riven, Cyan wanted to work on what was basically an MMO adventure game set in the Myst universe, with developers playing "live" characters and interacting with players. After that comes Uru, which is where things get.interesting.ĥ) Uru has a complicated story behind it. Like Myst III, it's only available via the original retail DVD-ROM.Īs far as storyline goes, you'll want to play the first four games in their numbered order. The Exile DVD-ROM was also included as a pack-in with Myst IV.Ĥ) Myst IV: Revelation was developed by Ubisoft's in-house team. ![]() The original release had 4 CD-ROMs, but there was a later "Myst 10th Anniversary DVD Edition" collection that had Myst Masterpiece Edition, Riven, and Exile on DVD-ROM. Unfortunately it's never shown up on any digital distributors, so if you want it legally you'll have to track down a disk copy. Cyan did have approval over the storyline, and Myst co-creator Rand Miller returned in an acting role. They have Cyan's blessing, so hopefully someday they'll be able to complete a finished product.ģ) Myst III: Exile wasn't developed by Cyan themselves, but instead by Presto Studios (creators of the Journeyman Project series), and published by Ubisoft.

Both RealMyst and its Masterpiece Edition feature a fairly short additional world that wasn't in the original Myst and serves as a tie-in to its sequel.Ģ) Riven is, well, Riven. RealMyst: Masterpiece Edition is a recent remake of RealMyst with more detailed models and high-res textures. RealMyst was released in 2000 and is a remake of the original game into a real-time 3D environment. The original 1993 version of the game that sold millions of CD-ROM drives isn't available on any storefronts anymore, but Myst: Masterpiece Edition is basically a straight upgrade: it has the same prerendered environments at a higher resolution. Myst V makes no sense without having played through some incarnation of Uru, and it's set afterwards chronologically.Īnyway, here's a few clarifications about some of the different editions out there:ġ) Myst has had a few different releases over the years.
