Cyan Worlds, the oldest surviving independent video game studio in the U.S. and creator of the landmark Myst game franchise, announced a Kickstarter campaign to fund new printed super-luxe editions of the game’s book trilogy series.
The campaign seeks to raise $50,000 and begins accepting pledges on October 20, 2026, and will close on November 19, 2026, said Hannah Gamiel, development director and co-studio head at Cyan Worlds, in an interview with GamesBeat.
Based on the worldwide smash-hit adventure game series, The Myst Trilogy Guild of Writers edition brings together all three of the bestselling Myst novels Myst: The Book of Atrus, Myst: The Book of Ti’ana, and Myst: The Book of D’ni into a single collection.
“The books haven’t been in physical format as a trilogy for 30 years, so it just felt like it was time to make those more accessible,” said Gramiel. “I think people maybe in this day and age are looking for something physically tangible they can have instead of something fleeting and digital.”
Gramiel said next year will be Cyan’s 40th anniversary as a company, and the team is looking to explore the Myst Universe more than the current game that the team is working on, whjich is code-named Mudfish.
“It all feels like it’s in service of what all we already have going on. The more people who can be exposed to the Myst Universe, even if they don’t like games and they just like books, the better,” said Gramiel.
