GAMETAP UNVEILS NEW EPISODIC MODEL FOR “MYST ONLINE: URU LIVE” WITH
FIRST INSTALLMENT BEGINNING MAY 19TH
Myst Online’s Creator Rand Miller to Interact with Players at Special
In-Game Event
GameTap is taking its exploration and puzzle-driven massively
multiplayer online game “Myst Online: Uru Live” to the next level. Being
a leader in episodic gaming, GameTap is applying this successful model
to the dynamic world of Uru. This new gaming approach enables players to
schedule each month around when the latest updates are going live, while
also providing a solid window of time to delve into the existing content
more deeply.
Beginning on Saturday, May 19th, all of the future episodes’ content and
story (e.g. new Ages, pages, clothing, character interaction, story
revelations, artifacts and intrigue) will be released within a single
week each month.
In “Scars,” the first of the new episodes, the D’ni Restoration Council
(DRC) is preparing to grant Explorers access to the never-before-seen
Age of Minkata, but calamity arrives when someone close to them dies.
The effects of this tragedy will change the course of the restoration
forever. Minkata features a vast landscape with hours of unique gameplay
that can be enjoyed as a single player or multi-player experience.
To celebrate the launch of the new episodic content, Myst Online’s
creator Rand Miller and various members of the Cyan Worlds development
studio will be hosting an in-game event to interact with players and
take part in a casual Q&A.
Details as follows:
What: Rand Miller In-Game Meet-&-Greet
