GameTap Passes Myst Online Back To Cyan

Myst Online: Uru Live has had somewhat of a difficult life. The online multiplayer component of Uru: Ages Beyond Myst never made it out of the beta testing phase before being canceled in 2004. Then in 2006, Turner Broadcasting’s GameTap service revived Uru Live, officially launching the game in February 2007 only to discontinue operation a year later. Now GameTap has given the publishing rights for the game back to Myst creators Cyan Worlds, who plan to relaunch Myst Online later this year.

Myst Online Dries Up

Just days prior to the one-year anniversary of the launch of Myst Online: Uru Live, the publisher responsible for bringing Cyan Worlds’ MMO to the masses (well… ) has announced its termination. GameTap’s Vice President of Content and Creative Director Ricardo Sanchez broke the bad news to fans on the game’s official forums, writing that the MMO has 60 days to live, at which point the game servers will be shut down and tears will begin to shed.

Myst fans will be glad to read, however, that “Cyan is still a very valued partner of GameTap, we are on excellent terms, and we look forward to continuing our relationship in the future.” Stay strong, Mysties.
