Some fans may know that Rime was previously a part of realMyst and realMyst: Masterpiece Edition. This reimagining of Rime will bring fresh discoveries to new and old players alike.
The Age of Rime introduces players to the snowy, mountainous seascape that Atrus and his family would visit in years past, before the events of Myst and Riven upended their lives. Sweeping vistas, beautiful ice structures, and fantastical natural phenomena await new visitors. This breathtaking new Age also houses a detailed laboratory space where bold experiments were made, delving into the mysterious nature of Linking Books themselves. This new version of Rime includes all-new narrative beats, new lore, and new sights to behold.
We hope to bring this patch to as many currently supported platforms for Myst as possible, so hang tight while we get that sorted.
Thanks, and enjoy.
