Justin sure wasn&#8217;t wrong about that, but some folks are finding this even more galling: Over the weekend Cyan released a teaser for a new Myst game, codenamed Project Anglerfish, which looks really good\u2014and then said it&#8217;s not in development because apparently publishers aren&#8217;t interested.<\/p>\n<p>Cyan said it spent about four months developing a prototype for the game in 2025, which was &#8220;purpose-built for publisher-eyes only,&#8221; as was the teaser video. &#8220;For a variety of reasons, this project couldn\u2019t move forward at the time, BUT we\u2019re still proud of the work the team did\u2014so we\u2019re sharing the teaser for the prototype with you all now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ZvNGt02yZNc\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That&#8217;s definitely a Myst game alright, although I don&#8217;t recall ol&#8217; Atrus being quite as high-strung and shouty as the agitated longhair here. As a lapsed fan of the series, I think it looks great, and it&#8217;s disappointing that this video doesn&#8217;t herald the coming of a new game, but is instead just a look at what might have been. <\/p>\n<p>Judging by reactions on Bluesky, I&#8217;m far from the only one who thinks so.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:4bpwufruftlcqrr2lrqkcwo3\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mrl4ybpqzc2r\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreieuxfhm2uh7lrm3ooxwc2ufdcvel66cxgdqatb5m5bz4fv35j4j4y\">\n<p lang=\"en\">i&#8217;m heartbroken. this looks so good. this industry, man<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @robohipster.bsky.social (<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4bpwufruftlcqrr2lrqkcwo3?ref_src=embed\">@robohipster.bsky.social.bsky.social<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/robohipster.bsky.social\/post\/3mrl4ybpqzc2r\">2026-07-27T19:26:42.257Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:wwb22vriajregvxlgyfad5gd\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mrl5h2rl6c2f\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiccinlkil7dlkcydngsbvzx2dpdwp7qqezdlibnanagz3xfmg5tuu\">\n<p lang=\"en\">I am now really sad that I have seen this, because this prototype looks like it would have been damn awesome if it was picked up and made into a full game.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @chrisfratz.bsky.social (<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:wwb22vriajregvxlgyfad5gd?ref_src=embed\">@chrisfratz.bsky.social.bsky.social<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/chrisfratz.bsky.social\/post\/3mrl5h2rl6c2f\">2026-07-27T19:26:42.079Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:sr5rozjyzcdleulubjbsmssd\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mrlj2gbyx424\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreigxojngf3qpk5zzf5quex4jmfoydc6bb4xbryr5vyuitcfkfcf5ni\">\n<p lang=\"en\">This is where a buttload of people lose their shit and demand\/request\/beg you to finish development coz it looks baller af :3<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @thatpandayouknow.bsky.social (<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:sr5rozjyzcdleulubjbsmssd?ref_src=embed\">@thatpandayouknow.bsky.social.bsky.social<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/thatpandayouknow.bsky.social\/post\/3mrlj2gbyx424\">2026-07-27T19:26:41.977Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:dk77np2os3ghogstklvudor4\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mrmqoiyduc2c\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreifao2vqhpncau4pwsxprqecms2z3jsw67bq3n3ktdmt4jdc46hn7m\">\n<p lang=\"en\">It hurts my soul that this never saw the light of day.Actually looks incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 @magindoe.bsky.social (<a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:dk77np2os3ghogstklvudor4?ref_src=embed\">@magindoe.bsky.social.bsky.social<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/magindoe.bsky.social\/post\/3mrmqoiyduc2c\">2026-07-27T19:26:42.175Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At the same time, it&#8217;s not hard to understand why publishers might be reluctant to back the money truck up to a new Myst game. Myst faded away for a reason, and there&#8217;s a looming gulf between a strong hit of nostalgia delivered by a three-minute video and the reality of playing old school adventure games with deliberately obtuse puzzles\u2014and, more to the point, paying for the privilege. Is there really a big demand for Myst&#8217;s brand of storytelling these days? <\/p>\n<p>What really vexes me, though, is that there might be. The audience for a new Myst game might be small (at least compared to, say, Fortnite or Roblox) but it&#8217;s also very dedicated and willing to chuck money at what it wants. In other words, it seems like an ideal candidate for a crowdfunding campaign\u2014yet Cyan isn&#8217;t pursuing one. I have to wonder why that is, because the studio&#8217;s previous games, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/cyaninc\/obduction\/description\" target=\"_blank\">Obduction<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1252280491\/firmament\/description\" target=\"_blank\">Firmament<\/a>, were both Kickstarter successes, drawing in well over $1 million each. <\/p>\n<p>A new Myst game would almost certainly do even bigger numbers on the weight of the name alone: In 2018, Cyan ran a Kickstarter for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/1252280491\/myst-25th-anniversary-collection\/description\" target=\"_blank\">Myst 25th Anniversary Collection<\/a> and pulled in more than $2.8 million. People like their Myst, and people want their Myst.<\/p>\n<p>And who knows? Maybe, eventually, they&#8217;ll get their Myst. It might be cynical but I find myself wondering if this little showcase is perhaps another way to gauge interest ahead of a possible campaign for a new Myst game\u2014a non-teaser that&#8217;s actually a real teaser for a game that&#8217;s not in active development <em>right now<\/em> but who&#8217;s to say what happens in a month? It&#8217;s a bit conspiratorial, sure, but I like to think of it more as hopeful: You just gotta believe, even if it takes some convoluted thinking to get there.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height: 250px;\">\n<div class=\"kwizly-quiz kwizly-W0Rm7X\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script src=\"https:\/\/kwizly.com\/embed\/W0Rm7X.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"3c0d59d6-89f0-11f1-80f5-31ac14760cd9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cyan-releases-teaser-for-the-first-new-myst-game-in-20-years-then-breaks-the-news-that-its-not-actually-being-made.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"3c0d59d6-89f0-11f1-80f5-31ac14760cd9\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/adventure\/cyan-releases-teaser-for-the-first-new-myst-game-in-20-years-then-breaks-the-news-that-its-not-actually-being-made\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myst was a massive success: Not only was it the best-selling PC videogame of all time for years, it helped usher in the CD-ROM era, opening the door to expansive new technologies and previously unseen levels of fidelity in gaming.
