'Myst' is coming back to iPhone & iPad for 30th anniversary

Myst Mobile on a fifth-gen iPad Air

A fully 3D version of "Myst," dubbed "Myst Mobile," is getting an iPhone and iPad release.

Created 30 years ago, the legendary puzzle game Myst was a commercial success and even helped accelerate the sale of CD-ROM drives.

Now, Myst Mobile will make its way to iPhone and iPad.

The title is a port of the 2021 remastered original, which has been available to play on PC and Oculus headsets.

Myst Mobile will be compatible with iPhones and iPads with A12 bionic chips and newer. This includes iPhone models such as iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR and newer.

iPad models such as the eighth-generation iPad, fifth-generation iPad mini, and the third-generation iPad Air and newer will also be able to play.

Myst Mobile will be available to download for free, allowing players to explore the game's first location without restriction. To unlock the rest of the game, it will cost $14.99.

While it was announced on Friday, Myst Mobile does not have a release date yet.

Sign me up for this.  I was a huge fan of Myst and "Riven" when it first came out 30 years ago.  I even bought the "Myst" books which sucked me into that world even more.  Even though it is considered low-tech, to me it still was one of the most amazing games to this day.  The storyline was so captivating and immersive that one could dismiss the slideshow graphics at the time.

Looking forward to seeing this!

A fair price to pay for the 2021 remaster. I’m not sure how good the experience would be on an iPhone, but I’d get the iPad version.

So is a port of myst mean it’s just the same game we already played?  

Yes, that’s what it sounds like.  I’d pay for a remastered version of Pillars of Garandel too. Some games are worth replaying and for me Myst is one.
