Overview
- Cyan disclosed Sunday that Project Anglerfish, a four-month prototype for a new Myst game, will not move forward and the studio released the original publisher-facing teaser as a public send-off.
- The teaser shows a mansion/island setting, a mysterious book that opens other 'Ages,' and puzzle-driven exploration that outlets report was built in Unreal Engine.
- Cyan says the prototype was developed over a year ago and was intended only for publishers before the studio decided to share the footage with fans.
- The studio cut about a dozen staff in March and has said securing financing is its top priority, a constraint that Cyan frames as a factor in halting larger projects.
- Cyan confirmed it is working on other Myst-universe work and announced a separate title codenamed Mudfish is in very early development.
