I think you're confusing Riven with the original Myst. There have been full 3D versions of Myst since way back in 2000, but a real-time 3D remake of Riven has been a long-awaited pipe dream.
There was a long-running fan project called "Starry Expanse", aiming to recreate Riven in 3D. They got acquired(?) by Cyan a couple years back and their work got incorporated into the official Riven remake, which is supposed to come out sometime later this year.
- prerok 2y agoThey didn't get acquired but did hire one member of the team as per this post: https://cyan.com/2022/10/31/olttfor/ https://cyan.com/2022/10/31/olttfor/
- teraflop 2y agoSorry, yeah, they didn't "acquire" the whole team in a business or employment sense, but my understanding is they got access to all the code and art assets they had created over the years.
- ironmagma 2y agoIt’s a few members at this point. I was on the SE team, very proud of my teammates (artists, musicians) who have gone on to join efforts with Cyan. The new Riven is going to be amazing.
- parpfish 2y agoyou’re right, I got confused between the two. Side note: I played obduction a while back and it looked great, but the PlayStation fans were going nonstop
