Myst V End of Ages Soundtrack

As it turned out the collector edition of Myst V End of Ages (Europe Edition) did not infact contain the full soundtrack as ubi had promised but instead a dvd with 7 mp3’s on. This however was not the case for the Limited Edition (USA version) which came with the full soundtrack (abit poorly packaged).

In response to the soundtrack grumbles Tim Larkin had this to say:

I can’t answer for Ubi’s marketing decisions, but just so you know, Cyan will be releasing the full soundtrack seperately.
We are currently waiting for our copies to show up. As soon as they do, we’ll announce a release date. Should be soon.
Thanks for your patience.

Offical Statement About Cyan from Ubisoft

From Ubisoft;

For the past 4 years Ubisoft has been proud to work with Cyan Worlds on the Myst brand, and we are saddened by the decision to close the doors of their games production unit. While this event is a sad day for Myst fans and gamers everywhere, it does not in any way affect the upcoming launch of Myst V: End of Ages which is already in manufacturing at this time. Ubisoft is continuing full steam ahead with the launch of Myst V: End of Ages, the Grand Finale of the Greatest Adventure Game of all time.

While the production unit has been disbanded, Cyan will continue as a company, pursuing new endeavors for the future. In the next few weeks, Cyan is expecting to provide more information about their plans. Other than this, Ubisoft has no additional information about Cyan or their future plans.

CyanWorlds Closing Down

From GreyDragon;

Time of your life

Almost all of Cyan Worlds, Inc. was laid off today, including me. I know with the talent we have here people will find new places to go and do great things. It?s sad to see a company with such talented people to basicly expire. I don?t blame anyone for it happening. So today we had a company meeting in which Rand said some kind final words. Then we had a hamburger and goodbye gathering. Over the last few weeks leading to this point many of us had the hope that something would come up, but it didn?t happen. I will try to stay in Spokane as long as I can. I got some really good things going for me right now here and I hate to see that just dust in the wind.

So, as Green Days Time of Your life is playing on the company intercom system.

?Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right.
I hope you had the time of your life.?

I did… (Raises glass) Here is to the future.

Peace.
