Gaming News - January 2005
San Francisco, CA (January 13, 2005) - Ubisoft today revealed that
Cyan Worlds will launch Myst V: End of Ages, in fall 2005 (PC and Mac). Rand
Miller, co-creator of Myst and founder of Cyan Worlds, leads the Spokane-based
development team in creating this final episode, bringing closure to the Myst
storyline.
“Myst is more than a game, it’s an experience, and in many cases, a lifestyle,
said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft’s North American division. “Cyan Worlds
will deliver the final chapter in what has been a phenomenal run of success,
both critically and commercially. We know that Myst V: End of Ages is something
people will want to be a part of, something memorable that will resound with
players for a lifetime.”
From Ubisoft:
Picking up immediately where the original Myst ended, players are presented
the privilege, challenge and responsibility of restoring the lost empire of the
D’ni, an ancient civilization of people who thrived for thousands of years but
later met with a great catastrophe. Like each previous Myst title, Myst V: End
of Ages advances the graphical beauty and detail of its worlds with a fully
immersive 3D environment. Cyan carefully crafted and combined elements of
adventure, puzzles, storyline and gameplay innovation creating a worthy ending
to the one game to which millions will forever compare any adventure title -
Myst.
“Myst V: End of Ages follows the Myst storyline to its conclusion – closing the
book on the Ages of Myst,” said Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan Worlds. “To complete
this circle of Myst we've embraced the idea of something old and something new.
New in regard to pushing forward in areas of interface and technology. And old -
getting back to the simple exploration that made Myst so magical.”
Additional launch details and information will be announced at a later date, and
