So, the obvious question gets begged, why is Myst ending? Well, the folks at Cyan want to start on other projects, and they felt that they could best do this with a clean slate. So they brought Myst to a conclusion at V (a very important number to the D’ni), and are now working on something top secret. They won’t be returning to Myst any time soon, but we can always hope.

So for now, loyal Myst fans, Shorah.
