Myst Online goes (Uru) live

It's better late than never for Myst fans, particularly those disappointed by the ill-fated launch of Uru Live several years ago, as the revived, revamped, and renamed Myst Online: Uru Live was officially launched on GameTap today.

Developed by Cyan Worlds, Myst Online is a new type of multiplayer experience, using the introduction of new Ages and puzzles in "fusing the social concepts of a traditional massively multiplayer online game with mystery and problem-solving facets." The online experience promises to include all the things that we've come to expect from the Myst franchise, including exploration of beautiful, imaginary worlds, linking book teleportation, and of course challenging puzzles. But it also includes social features like voice and text chat to let players communicate, travel, and work together for the first time. And as players interact with their surroundings, the ongoing storyline will reportedly adapt and evolve according to the choices made and actions taken.

Myst Online: Uru Live is a GameTap exclusive, and is available to subscribers of the broadband entertainment network in the US and Canada. However, the game will also be made available in several countries around the world via direct download. To check on availability in your area or get more information about Myst Online in general, be sure to check out the game's official website. The website includes links to subscribe to GameTap for the full Myst Online experience, or a free limited trial period to sample a portion of the game.
