Cyan Is Not Dead Yet

September 30th, 2005 · No Comments

As I suspected Cyan has resurfaced. Hopefully uncuppled from Ubisoft to do something amazing: The Mercury News is reporting that Cyan Worlds (the company that developed Myst and its subsequent sequels) may not be a corporate casualty after all. In an email to The Mercury News, Rand Miller writes: “We’ve had a reprieve. Managed to […]
