Riven is launching simultaneously on flatscreen and VR platforms later this year.
Riven is a meticulous, from-the-ground-up remake of the historic puzzle adventure game Riven: The Sequel to Myst (1997) developed for a new generation of players on Unreal Engine 5.

I absolutely love the fact that Riven world is not only back, but also expanded.
I know!!! I've always wanted to find out new things about Riven and had accepted that wouldn't be possible but now it is going to be 🤯
@@henrywalton5967 There were so many "corners" that we could only see and not visit. Now our favorite world is gonna be richer.
@@rockmanhunter
Maybe we'll finally get to visit the East Path? Maybe see around Tay a bit more?
@@KororaPenguin East Path, Gehn's Lab, the forest [I've always felt It's much bigger], the native Village, etc. Maybe we'll be able to walk on Tay a bit more. I can't wait.
I think the iconic "Tree - Rebel Age Tay" was also never accessable. Would be cool if we could go there as well.
Cyan's working on a Mystverse Production.
All is right with the world.
As all things should be
Riven is so precious to me that at first I was worried to hear about it being changed or expanded in any way. But then I remembered - this is Cyan, they made Riven. They’ll treat it right.
And then you remember that Cyan also made realMyst...and Myst 5 😬
Not only is it Cyan - it’s literally the same three creatives (Rand & Robyn Miller, Richard Vander Wende) reunited for the first time since Riven!
@@eucalyptblazeWait, Robyn Miller will return? That will make Riven even better😊❤
Its precious to me too buddy.
I'm still worried that the two new actors are just fans getting their little awards to be in their favorite game and not actually adding much in return. I really hope those two are up to the task and don't end up stealing the show.
Riven was and has been the best game Cyan made, can't wait for this new version.
The puzzles: 😰
The story and atmosphere: 🥹❤️
I prefer Uru over Riven but they were all great games and I'm glad this remake is being made
I hope Keston's singing will be in this version.
Keston passed away sad
@@joshallen128 They could still include it in some way regardless.
@@monkeywithocd I forgot I wonder if they still have the old footage preserved, and turning it into 3d
New easteregg to get it would be great haha
@@joshallen128 I think they said outright in this very video that they at least have the audio, but a Game Informer interview at the beginning of the month indicated that they were combining the original performance, the way he spoke particularly, with the more full-body motion of the mo-cap. That was my main concern about this, given the whole brouhaha from the models in the remade Myst - when I heard that Riven was getting remade as well, my first thought was "I hope they do the character models justice, especially for Gehn; John Keston deserves that much." The picture from that interview is somewhat reassuring.
Rand as Atrus, again ! The unforgettable voice in an unforgettable game.
I was always amazed that just two brothers with a small team were behind the Myst & Riven blockbusters.
Still small...reaching higher. Amazing!
Oh dang. More lore! I read the novels a million years ago and really loved them.
Everyone knew it would not have been Riven without the original actors looks and style.
We are all really happy that they where preserved, real people make the world feel so so much more real.
Ai generated faces really doesn't cut it.
Great work continue like that!
I’m so over the moon excited!!
Riven Remake: Now with Funky Mode!
All of this new Riven stuff really brings tears (of joy) to my eyes ❤
I LOVE the documentary aspect of this, it just feels so Cyan! I am so ready to dive back into Riven! This time I'll beat it for sure! Gonna bring my best friend along with, taking notes in a journal the whole way
I did the audio version of a double take at that!!
I'm really happy to see Riven being re-done. When we bought our first family PC in 1995, it came bundled with a copy of Myst and I fell in love with it. I can still remember the devastation when dad bought us Riven for Christmas in '97 and we realized the hard way that our hard drive was too small to install it. We had to sit on it for a while till dad upgraded us to a new computer. 😅
This is really exciting, and I'm so glad they're matching/updating the original performances AND adding new stuff! I'm guessing right now that for our two new actors here, we'll see flashbacks to a younger Atrus and Katran during the end of The Book of Atrus. Could be wayyy off, but it'd be cool!
That would be great! But I think it's more likely that they play Moiety members. Hard to convincingly do a flashback with a first-person game (that doesn't include mental/temporal gymnastics in its worldbuilding).
I still want to see Riven's living tree and Katran's torus world as described in the book.
What made Riven so unique was not only the gorgeous world that immediately captivates you but Atrus talking to you & interacting with live actors throughout the game and It just makes it that much more immersive. A silly as Night trap is and as fun as Double Switch is, the full motion video is what really makes it special
I don't remember the last time I was this excited about a game release. I am so looking forward to visiting Riven again.
The rail rides blew me away since I've never experienced anything like that in a game back then. They're probably be even more immersive.
I'm not a big VR guy, but i'll surely be dusting off my headset just for those rides :D
I may actually get into VR for this game, depending on what headset will be used.
@@Stoyon Rarely a good idea to buy a full console for one game, granted I did so with Gran Turismo 7, and I admit, it was worth it.
This seems more and more interesting with each new video
Looking forward to seeing the expanded narrative! Thanks Cyan.
can't wait :)
I can't wait to see the characters integrated in that wonderful world.
wooohooooo! yes! more cyan games in the myst multiverse! Bring it!
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Really great to see the old actors and performances preserved while expanding with the game itself!
Really looking forward to seeing hour this turns out after playing the 2021 Myst remake.
Also, for those of you who have access to a headset, I highly recommend checking out the 7th Guest VR remake, if only for the incredible job they did with full-performance motion capture using volumetric video. VR + motion capture makes me really excited (and a little hopeful) for the future of 1st person adventure games.
I was astounded by the way they did the characters in that game!
@@tombot5000 Totally. As a adventure game, specifically as a puzzle-heavy adventure game, I don't think 7th Guest holds a candle compared to anything in Cyan's catalogue, but the remake's 3D character work floored me the first time I say it.
Here's hoping that, one day, someone does something along those lines with The Last Express.
I was so disappointed with not being able to play the new 7th guest as I don't have the gear. Ever since playing it a few centuries ago, whenever I'm trying solutions to puzzles in games, I have that gloriously sarcastic 'That's not it.' voice in my head. 😀
Thank you, everyone at Cyan, for sharing this video with us!
Really excited to return to the Ages of Riven, Tay, and "233". 👍🏾
Any time I see a new featurette I get more and more excited!
I hope we get a physical release with the original box art also enhanced and reproduced
Doubt it if it's a PC exclusive
5 discs lol
@@alex-internetlubberI swear people would pay for that, nostalgia is a powerful thing haha
They could release a box, but just be aware that the physical release for Firmament didn't actually include the game inside.
if the characters and mechanics dont fit into the grounded world of Riven, then itlll be a shame. I really hope that they manage to make the characters real. bumping into the real child in the woodlands, or having real moiety actors interact in the original made an almost reaistic world real.
Every glimpse I get behind the scenes makes me more impressed with the work Cyan has put into this. My excitement has grown leaps and bounds.
My gosh I am beyond excited. I grew up with the Myst series, it was a source of a ton of imagination and intrigue. I'm so happy to see this.
Great that even Richard returned for this production!
Thank god you have returned!!!
I sincerely wish you success Rend… Atrus, and all your team. I saw the demo on a Steamdeck and I was mesmerized once again! I am really excited and I’ll look forward to see it in VR!!!
I’m excited as Myst was my childhood favorite but never played Riven so will finally get to see how story continues.
I am still skeptical of the use of 3d models instead of real video for the characters. Myst and Riven were so realistic and convincing because of the real people. Hope it will prove me wrong.
Also skeptical based on the model quality of characters in the Myst remake. The option for fmv as an AI up sample from the original videos would be nice. However, if the model quality can be pulled off this time, with good facial capture, I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong.
@@XXLoderunnerXX But also consider the model quality of the character we saw in Firmament, which was at a vastly higher standard than the Myst remake's.I'm
I'm really not terribly worried here.
@@kemanorel3110 they have meta human now, so they might be ok
I really hope the characters will turn their heads to maintain eye contact this time. The way the characters in Myst VR and Firmament looked in the same place no matter where you stood made it feel like you were just watching animatronics go through their routine.
Now you don’t have to worry about 3 clicks to open a door behind you😂. Just be yourself and move around naturally.
But the charm of the point and click is still amazing to this day that I won’t complain if they make an option as well
I can't wait!!!
Cast idea: Charles Dance would be the perfect cast for Gehn
Favorite games development company. Hands down.
This is so exciting. Riven was a superlative game.
Hearing Rand's voice transported me right back to playing Myst.. I so hope we see more expansion of the story of the D'Ni....
I still basically see Rand as Atrus. Doesn't occur to me he's a software developer. He's just "the guy from the intro"
(And one of the brothers in Myst but never mind that)
I can listen to Rand talk about stuff all day man
Ronan Farrow being a MYST fan is a delight I didn't know I needed to learn today.
This sounds absolutely phenomenal, and incredibly exciting! Thankyou so much Rand, the Riven Team, and everyone at Cyan! ❤
I'm so excited to play this again. Still in my top 10 games
I hope that it's been an easier production cycle than the first time you made Riven!
I finished them all when I was younger, except the very first Myst. I have the latest version sitting on my steam wishlist, just waiting for Riven to be released so I can enjoy them back to back. I do hope that we'll also get a remake of 3 and 4. Even Uru would be nice, I liked that weird game.
Soooo glad i held off replaying Riven a few years ago in the hopes it would get the Myst treatment (remakes, etc).....Cant wait of this game! BTW, thank GOD Cyan did not go the route of removing the actors and replacing them with cartoons like they did with one of the Myst remasters/remakes. I can't begin to describe how much I loathed that change!
Hell yeah dude. This is gonna rock.
Richard is back. HELL YES.
I LOVE you're going full FMV. That is the iconic Cyan style!
I talk about Riven all the time with my kids when they ask what my favorite games are. I can't wait to play it again with them and watch them experience it for the first time. I'm so excited for this!!
this wait will finish me! 📙📘📗
This is so awesome, Riven is one of my earliest gaming memories. Its still incredible to this day, so excited for the remake.
I LOVE it, cant wait to play :-)
Good solution using the og audio with performance capture imo.
Why? The audio quality will be really bad
@@MichaelM28 Not if they still have the original recordings.
@@MichaelM28the audio I'm the origin Riven is honestly great, we donte need to worry about that
Looking forward to this!
John Keston (RIP) WAS Gehn; no other performance could capture that character's pathos and ego. If they can preserve his performance, even if just his voice and virtual likeness, then the remake will be all the better for it.
I'm really excited for this. As big of a project as Riven was for it's time it could always have had more story driven content and depth. Thanks Cyan for realizing this opportunity and acting out on it.
I LOVE the lore behind Myst - more than the games, really. I could hear/read about it all day.
Hoping the Age cut out of the last remake of Myst is added here. I enjoyed the little reveal from the previous remake set in the snowy area as one last thing to do after freeing Atrus
Exciting stuff! It's going to be great to see all of the work from the Starry Expanse team finally come to fruition. And it's so great that Richard came back to Cyan to work on this with Rand, Robyn and the whole team...
Aww I hope there's an easter egg tribute to both John Keston and Sheila Goold in the game.
I've been playing these games since 1993 when I was in high school on a Mac Color Classic. Can't wait to play this new version of Riven.
I am beyond excited for this. Words cannot explain.
I get more excited about this with every new video! So pleased that it feels so faithful to the original, but still has small updates and expansions.
Amazing!!
I love classic Riven so much. This remaster looks very gorgeous in full 3d and also is very faithful to the visuals of the original game. I cant wait to stuck trying to figure out the fire marble puzzle again, hehe. Release date when?
So excited for this I’m like a little kid!
The hype is real! I can't wait to revisit RIVEN and discover these new details!
So does this mean this game will be the first time moving, CGI characters are in a Cyan game?
I played through Obduction recently, and the only 3D modeled characters were dead aliens on the ground. Everyone else was footage.
It will be interesting to see this game explore these things.
Edit: I just remembered there were moving beetles in Obduction. So apart from that, I mean.
Edit 2: Ok, people can stop telling me I'm wrong. I only actually got to play the original Myst through a port on Nintendo DS, and I haven't played anything else Cyan besides the aforementioned Obduction.
I assumed they mostly remained the same between the 2 titles I played.
I have seen brief things from each game, and it's been years since that, so I may have forgotten something.
Hopefully I'll get a capable computer one day.
No
the Myst remake had CGI characters as well.
Myst V and Uru both had 3d characters as well. Although, obviously much older tech!
Ages beyond myst, and myst 5
There was one alien in Obduction that was alive, laying on the ground but alive and breathing, gesturing things to you in Maray. Also in Myst 2021 they had cgi models replace the fmv videos, but later they added the option to have the fmv videos instead (except for Atrus)
I am so excited. The teaser looked incredible and accurate to the original. I am about to pass out with excitement lol
So excited about this
I cannot believe they not only remade the game but added full new content. Take my money damnit!
Amazing.
Date please! I cannot wait for this! 😍😍😍
I played the first Myst back in the day. I remember standing in a Price Club line [as Costco was then known] in 1992 holding my copy of Myst and a CD-ROM to play it. However, for reasons unclear, I never played Riven or any of the follow-up Myst games. I am so looking forward to this one. I really hope you'll remake all the Myst games.
It's cool to have "real riven" finally become real.
Whoa
This video is so "Rivening" to see how the cutscenes will play out this time around!
Make us proud!!!
Oh my gosh, I love that this is following in the same spiritual vein as the original Riven. The original took Myst and expanded the universe giving it lore and depth.
The remake seems to be doing something similar. I can't wait to see what has been expanded upon.
Not a "wish list" but rather a "gonna get no matter what list"!!
Hoping they would remake 3 and 4.
Ehrmahgerd I’m soo excited!
My question is.. will the Spyder eastereggs make it into this version? Also, last time I saw Rand he had that ponytail. Odd to see him without it. The passion for the craft is apparent in all the team. Cant wait.
Keston confirmed! ❤🎉❤
I'm confused. In the Remake Demo there are animated NPCs instead of real-time recorded characters, but I suppose this will be changed with the full release then?
No, wait. The actors' and actresses' performances will be portrayed in the animated NPCs. Did I get that right?
OK; I thought I was excited with the gameplay footage drop yesterday! But new backstory content?! I didn't think I could get any more hyped for this game, but here we are!
(Also, is that the same Faro from the Unwritten RPG campaign "Strange Seeds"?)
I cannot tell you how excited I am to play this game
Really didn't have Ronan Farrow showing up in Riven on my bingo card this year.
I technically have access to Real mist on Nintendo switch around 20 20. I hope this riven remake will eventually come to consoles. If not Nintendo switch then at least PlayStation 5
I'm still waiting to hear if Cyan intends to release versions for other platforms... Xbox, specifically.
Oh man, this is getting me mysty eyed.
The Myst Universe, and especially Riven seems to be the only thing that can still take my breath away. I've always considered myself a gigantic Star Wars nerd but I don't feel as excited about that stuff coming out anymore as I did 20 years ago. But the Myst Universe (and especially Riven (my all-time favorite game)) feels like it's fresh still. Like I'm still there experiencing it for the first time. It just excites me like no other. Is it possible for a person to marry an intellectual property? Because I would. :D
Hey guys, love what you do.
I am a Russian & German native speaker. I speak English fluently. If you need any (non-professional) help (voice acting, translation, ...), I'll gladly do my part. Just let me know.
Love you, V.
Leider wird es nur deutsche Untertitel geben.😢
I cant wait for the revelation remake/remaster.
Will there be a physical version of Riven?
Bliss.
