‘The most ambitious Myst experience’ the company has ever created

GameTap, the first-of-its-kind broadband entertainment network from Turner Broadcasting System, made it official to the world that Myst Online: Uru Live will open its doors tomorrow, Thursday, February 15. Published by GameTap and developed by Cyan Worlds, Myst Online: Uru Live is the most recent addition to the company’s original labels.

This latest installment
of the best-selling Myst franchise introduces all-new Ages and puzzles while fusing the social concepts of a traditional massively multiplayer online game with mystery and problem-solving facets. Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan Worlds and co-creator of Myst said: “Myst Online: Uru Live’ is the most ambitious Myst experience we’ve ever created. By developing an interactive, online world driven by intrigue and exploration instead of violence, massively multiplayer online gamers now have a choice unlike any of the other options.”

For the first time ever in the Myst universe, a player’s choices, actions, and experiences will help drive the ongoing storyline which expands and adapts on a continual basis. This new adventure-driven take on the MMO game genre features the ongoing release of new content, including all-new Ages and puzzles. As players act and react to their surroundings and each other, a new Myst story will be told. The game also combines all of the classic adventure and puzzle-solving elements and beautifully colored worlds that made Myst the top-selling franchise of its time and among the most critically-acclaimed games of the 20th century.

Myst Online: Uru Live includes elements unique to the Myst franchise, including books used to teleport, exploration through wondrous, immersive new Ages; and mind-challenging puzzles to solve either as a group or alone. To register for GameTap and experience Myst Online: Uru Live, see
