Uncover a story of intrigue, betrayal, and a civilization teetering on the brink of collapse as you solve intricate puzzles to unlock the secrets of Riven. Built from the ground-up and expanded from the award-winning original game released in 1997.
It is sorta, it started about 13 years ago with The Starry Expanse, a bunch of people who started building Riven in a 3D engine, at some point Cyan started collaborating with them and finally took over the project completely.
Cyan already redid Myst in real-time, fully explorable 3D with VR support. They are planning on doing this with all of the Myst games (probably not Uru). This release was not started 13 years ago, but a group of fans, The Starry Expanse, have been trying to recreate Riven on their own. Cyan saw what they were doing and instead of pulling a Nintendo and suing them into oblivion, they worked out a collaboration a year before this was announced.

No way! I’m rather looking forward to this, I picked up the hefty PS1 version but never played it beyond the opening sequence.
Excuse the muppetry, but is this effectively the sequel to the 2021 Myst remaster? Or is it a different project fork again?
