Myst IV is currently slated for a September 2004 release. Peter Gabriel, who contributed an original song to URU, will be doing the same for Myst IV, and Jack Wall will also reprise his work from Exile to compose the Revelation soundtrack.
#MYST IV REVELATION SOUNDTRACK SERIES#
The game is being created by Ubisoft Montreal, although the series creators have been available to consult and are reportedly happy with the direction of the project. Myst IV: Revelation has been in development for nearly three years (development started in September 2001), and it's good to see the series return to its roots and hopefully tie up a lot of loose ends from previous games. Somewhere between 60-70 minutes of live footage should make it into the game, so expect plenty of story. The level of immersion has been upped a bit, as you can interact with more of the world than ever before, and you'll have the ability to take pictures either as souvenirs or for use later in a search for clues. As in previous games, the areas we had a chance to take a look at were nothing short of stunning, with lots of lush forests, intriguing architecture and whimsical gadgets. While Myst IV will return to its legacy of pre-rendered backgrounds, the scenes should be much more dynamic due to various video panels seamlessly integrated into various scenes, creating the illusion of live settings instead of static backgrounds. The story was written by Mary DeMarle, who also penned the story for Exile, so the overall tone should remain consistent with previous games. Why did Atrus decide to imprison them in the first place? Have they changed their ways after so many years imprisoned in their ages? How have their respective ages evolved over the years? You'll start the game in Tomanha, Atrus' new home, and visit four ages, including those of the two brothers. The subtitle Revelation is meant as a reference to the many mysteries that should be resolved in Myst IV, many surrounding the brothers Sirrus and Achenar. When a sudden explosion occurs and their young daughter Yeesha goes missing, Atrus enlists your help. The game starts ten years after Exile left off, where patriarch Atrus (once again played by series co-creator Rand Miller) and wife Catherine are discussing the fate of their two sons, who have been imprisoned since the first game. So it should come as good news to fans that Ubisoft has chosen to return to the series' roots with the next game in the series, Myst IV: Revelation, including the same pre-rendered backgrounds and control scheme as previous games, as well as a storyline focusing on many of the original characters.Įxpect the same crazy gadgets that have become a hallmark of the Myst series.Īs you might guess, Myst IV: Revelation is a direct sequel to Myst III: Exile, and requires no experience with the events of URU.

Despite some decent reviews, many found the new control system awkward, and after a troublesome launch, the plug was pulled on the multiplayer ( URU Live) after just a few months. In 2003, the series went in a different direction with URU: Ages Beyond Myst, eschewing the pre-rendered backgrounds of its predecessors for a fully 3D environment and the promise of a persistent online world.
