An ending to be written
MYST V: END OF AGES
Yeah!
How do you like THAT?
What an incredible thing to have announced, just 3 months after the release of Myst IV: Revelation, we've got this one, coming in "Fall 2005" (ie. Spring for the southern hemisphere).
!!!!!
We've had ups and downs over the past 14 months, with the release of Uru, the demise of Uru Live, the release of Uru's two expansions, and finally the release of Myst IV last October. Now this! What an incredible ride.
We've been waiting for this "Something Else(TM)" game from Cyan, and now I guess this is it. The official announcement is here:
Myst Worlds
Looks like it IS from Cyan (and Ubisoft) so its most likely to be Something Else(TM).
But it seems theres a much more detailed announcement on the German page, which gives away a lot more of the in-game and out-of-game story. Here is a translation:
Myst Obsession
So it seems that indeed, this is the last Myst game. Not necessarily the last game in the D'ni universe. Looks like its going out with a bang, though. "End of Ages". Wow! As with the announcement of every Myst game since Myst III, there is one word on every fan's lips (followed by a large question mark): "RELEESHAHN". I'm betting its here!
For the uninitiated, Releeshahn is the "perfect Age" created by Atrus as a new home for the D'ni after he and his wife Catherine searched the Ages for survivors. The Releeshahn book itself was the subject of Myst III: Exile, but the Age itself has never even been glimpsed. The word has not come up in Uru or Myst IV: Revelation, and its been one of the most closely guarded secrets - we think, because Cyan were saving it up for the End of Ages.
I've already posted to:
Eat_My_Shortz' Relto (My Myst site)
and
Myst Wikipedia Entry (yay I love this Wikipedia thing)
So I guess the old saying, that we in the Myst universe have so often clung to, "The ending has not yet been written," could finally be proven wrong. But its going to be one hellava ride!
"And now I am at rest, understanding that in books, and Ages, and life, the ending can never truly be written."

Well, I guess we have to think of this saying: "All good things must come to a ending. Then better things have a beginning." Or something to that affect. Yes, it's fantastic. But, I keep saying to myself. "What will be in there?" I recall the long-ago entry in G.D.'s blog, about a cool screen shot he had. Nobody knew if it was a photograph or a screen shot. So, based on that, it should be awesome.
According to Tijanas sources on the Guild of Greeters site, there are two (2) things at Cyan. The first thing being Myst 5 (Something Else (tm)) and also something else entirely different. i.e. altogether out of the MREUDP realm. Maybe that's the trademark for that other name? RAWA can be so cryptic.
I'm glad you're happy and yes, I'm happy too, thrilled in fact. Just full of thought as well.
