Riven is getting a remake.

Robyn Miller reunites with brother Rand for Cyan Worlds’ Riven remake

Cyan Worlds announced that original Myst co-creator Robyn Miller has formally joined the effort at Cyan Worlds to do a ground-up remake of Riven: The Sequel to Myst.

That means Robyn will reunite with his brother Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan Worlds, for the first time on the franchise since they co-created the groundbreaking PC game 27 years ago. They’re in the midst of remaking Riven as a modern game which they plan to deliver later this year. To date, sales for Myst and its sequel Riven have sold over 15 million copies worldwide.
