Old Mysteries made new

Myst remake 2021 - A sunny, wooded pathway leading to a marble temple with a circular pedestal in front.

Oft re-released classic adventureMystis getting re-released yet again, this time as a remake with snazzy modern updates. Cyan Worlds launched a VR remake late last year but mentioned plans to bring the new version to us regular “flat screen” PC folks as well. The time is nearly upon us at last, because Cyan say that you’ll be venturing back into Myst next week on August 26th.

“This newly-reimagined version of Myst includes fresh takes on the visuals in every area in the game,” Cyan say. “With both VR and 2D play experiences in mind, this definitive, modern edition of Myst will immerse you in the world in a way that has never been possible before.”

Here it is, in all three of the dimensions.

Aside from the fully 3D environments, Cyan say the new Myst comes with other modern niceties. You’re able to take in-game photos to help you remember important details instead of, say, drawing them on your palm with the nearest pen. There’s also an optional puzzle randomiser so you can still have a challenge even if you memorized them all 20 years ago.

The reimagined Myst also now has its interface localised into different languages and some new accessibility options.

Myst launches onSteamandGOGon August 26th. It will also be added to the Xbox Game Pass for PC.
