Myst 25th Anniversary Collection To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of this epic game, Cyan offered a never-been-done-before, historical anthology of the complete series, along with some special, Atrus-approved, authentic game artifacts. As much as we love to snark about Myst and its obtuse puzzles around here, it's hard to deny the nearly 25-year-old adventure series' influence on the industry. Developers Cyan are aiming to celebrate the upcoming anniversary with the release of a boxed collectors edition release of all seven games in the series, polished up, tweaked and tuned to make them all play nice with modern machines.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Myst video games series, developer Cyan has launched a Kickstarter campaign to acquire the rights to all seven games and re-release them as the Myst 25th.
Last month it was reported that there are plans to relaunch the entire Myst collection on the PC. The good news for those who grew up playing the game is that this has since been confirmed, as a Kickstarter campaign for the Myst 25th Anniversary Collection has since been launched where players will be able to get their hands on the entire collection.
According to the developers, “To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the epic game that became your world, Cyan is offering a never-been-done-before, historical anthology of the complete series, along with some special, Atrus-approved, authentic game artifacts! The collection and artifacts will be packaged in a unique box – available only through this Kickstarter, with a limited run, for a limited time. (Seriously, the games will be available later, but the special packaging and artifacts will not be sold again!)”
So what does the collection include? This includes pretty much every Myst game that has been released to date, which includes Myst (1993), Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997), RealMyst: Interactive 3D Edition (2000), Myst 3: Exile (2001), Uru: Ages Beyond Myst (2003), Myst 4: Revelation (2004), and Myst 5: End of Ages (2005).
However there is some bad news and that is if you game on a Mac, some of the titles released won’t be compatible with macOS. According to Cyan, “But for various reasons, maintaining some of those Mac titles now means rebuilding them from scratch – an option that, as a small indie studio, takes time or resources we just don’t have. And for games that were produced by other studios, even that option may not be possible.” The company will work towards creating more Mac compatible titles, but until then Mac gamers will be out of luck.
