Cyan, the studio behind Myst and Riven, released a teaser for the shelved Myst prototype 'Project Anglerfish' at Mysterium 2026, while also announcing package versions of the Myst and Riven remakes and a 2027 fan event for its 40th anniversary. The studio remains committed to new games in the Myst world.
Cyan, the studio behind the 1990s adventure classics Myst and Riven, has kept the franchise active through a series of announcements. At the fan event Mysterium 2026, the studio released a teaser video for 'Project Anglerfish,' a shelved prototype set in the Myst universe. The video, titled 'A path not taken,' was created over about four months more than a year ago as an internal pitch for a publisher, but the project could not move forward at the time and development is now halted. The footage shows an eerie Western-style mansion, underground devices, and the series' iconic Linking Book, along with a voice message addressed to a character called 'Guildsman' and a tense story involving a strict father figure.
Separately, Cyan announced package versions of the full remakes of Myst and Riven, which were digitally released in May 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox, with the PC version including a digital code. The studio also plans a fan event in Spokane, Washington, in 2027 to mark its 40th anniversary, which Rand Miller founded with his brother Robin Miller. Cyan said it remains committed to new games and experiences in the Myst world.

Solo developer Shoei Sio announced on September 14, 2026 that Cyan Heart will be released on October 9, 2026. The game is a horror exploration puzzle adventure played from a selfie perspective: the player controls a girl who films herself continuously with a camera, so her own figure and whatever stands behind her fill the screen while her front stays out of view. A demo is available now on Steam, where the game is priced at 1,300 yen. A Nintendo Switch version is also planned through Wakuwaku Games. The setting is a world once sustained by an energy called Magenta Heart, which mimicked physical phenomena forever, then turned cyan and began turning anything with form cyan as well, driving living things and machines mad. The girl enters an abandoned facility rumored to hold something that stops that erosion and works toward the deepest part.
