Cyan is shutting down. The Myst series of games launched and defined a generation of multimedia personal computing and gaming, continued and advanced the adventure game genre while other genres seemed to have a stranglehold on the industry, and elevated computer games as an artistic, cinematic storytelling medium. Cyan was simply great.

All signs indicate that the concluding episode in the Myst series, Myst V: End of Ages, will release on schedule by the end of this year.
