GAMETAP
Unveils New Episodic Model for Myst Online: Uru Live
Myst Online’s Creator Rand Miller to Interact
with Players at Special In-Game Event
GameTap is taking its exploration and
puzzle-driven massively multiplayer online game “Myst Online: Uru Live” to the
next level. Being a leader in episodic gaming, GameTap is applying this
successful model to the dynamic world of Uru. This new gaming approach enables
players to schedule each month around when the latest updates are going live,
while also providing a solid window of time to delve into the existing content
more deeply.
Beginning on Saturday, May 19th, all of the
future episodes’ content and story (e.g. new Ages, pages, clothing, character
interaction, story revelations, artifacts and intrigue) will be released within
a single week each month.
In “Scars,” the first of the new episodes, the
D’ni Restoration Council (DRC) is preparing to grant Explorers access to the
never-before-seen Age of Minkata, but calamity arrives when someone close to
them dies. The effects of this tragedy will change the course of the restoration
forever. Minkata features a vast landscape with hours of unique gameplay that
can be enjoyed as a single player or multi-player experience.
To celebrate the launch of the new episodic
content, Myst Online’s creator Rand Miller and various members of the Cyan
Worlds development studio will be hosting an in-game event to interact with
players and take part in a casual Q&A.
Details as follows:
- What: Rand Miller In-Game Meet-&-Greet
- Date: Thursday 5/24
- Time: 6pm PST/9pm EST
- Location: A Beginner’s Bevin
