Classic adventure puzzler Myst is heading to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC later this month, developer Cyan Worlds has announced.

The 1993 adventure has been completely remade from the ground up in the Unreal Engine. The remake promises “new art, new sound, re-imagined interactions and optional puzzle randomization” in the package. Of course, there’s also a more modernised control scheme, and it’ll mark the first time the game has been released on an Xbox console.

In case you’ve never played it before, the game deposits you on the mysterious Myst Island. You’ll explore the mysterious magical place and solve a series of puzzles as you find yourself transported to other long dormant locations known as Ages.

This new release also features a range of graphical and accessibility upgrades as detailed on the Xbox Wire. These include localised UI and a technology known as FidelityFX Super Resolution. This is a super sampling process allowing the game to play at 4K at 60FPS on the Xbox Series X.

Check out a trailer for the game below. Myst arrives on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC on August 26. It’ll also be available as part of Xbox Game Pass.
