Press Release
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. –
(December 22, 2011) – The seminal fantasy-adventure title, Myst,
is set to arrive as a major player in the Spring 2012 lineup of
Nintendo 3DS™ releases, announced video game publishers Maximum
Family Games (MFG) today. The story of Myst was first
created as a computer game series nearly two decades ago by brothers
Robyn and Rand Miller of Cyan, Inc.
The new Myst for
Nintendo 3DS, developed by Hoplite Research, LLC, introduces the
first-person fantasy universe to players not yet acquainted with the
series, and gives veteran gamers extra content to explore with new
landscapes and with the RIME Age added to enhance the Myst storyline.
As in the original Myst, players will solve puzzles, explore
their surroundings and interact with items and objects that deliver
clues from which players must piece together answers in order to move
ahead and solve the mysteries that lie within.
While Myst for
Nintendo 3DS stays true to the original game’s model, the upcoming
addition takes the classic journey to a new level with sharp 3D
environments which even further transport players into the enigma the
game creates.
“Myst is
expected to be a big hit with Nintendo 3DS players,” said Len
Ciciretto, President of MFG. ”It takes everything we all know and
love about the Myst series and gives it a 3D facelift.”
The game begins as the
book of Myst has just been finished and the reader finds
himself in the unusual world described within the book’s pages.
Exploration begins immediately, as players wander around in an
attempt to figure out where they are, and more importantly, why they
have landed on the cryptic island of Myst.
Myst features six
worlds, including the RIME Age which was not part of the original
release, and with a multitude of puzzles and clues to
uncover, Mystoffers hours of adventurous gameplay. “In 3D,
each scene jumps from the screen and really puts the player in the
game!” said Manny Granillo, President of Hoplite Research.
“The
original Myst for PC systems was a groundbreaking game that
brought the fantasy-adventure genre to mainstream casual gaming,”
said Ciciretto. “The new Myst honors that history by
reintroducing this well-known franchise to younger generations.”
Myst is set to
release on March 27, 2012 on Nintendo 3DS. The game is rated E for
Everyone by the ESRB. For more information, please
