UbiSoft Takes Myst IV In-House, Uru Secrets Show Myst Library

Thanks to 1UP for its story discussing UbiSoft's announcement of Myst IV Revelation, revealing the "...fourth single-player installment in the series... in development at its Montreal studio." UbiSoft has "very little to say about the game as yet", but it seems developers of Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time are bringing their expertise to the franchise, most recently faltering a little with series creator Cyan's Uru: Ages Beyond Myst. Elsewhere, fansite URU Obsession has discovered hidden linking panels in Uru, possibly not intended for use in the game, but including a picture of the library from the first Myst game (though posters note "some differences from the original Myst library".)

I'd be interested in another Myst game. Myst was never a game for the masses anyway (once you get past first impressions). Adventure/puzzle based games were never very for the mass market due to their lack of replay value. They're more for people who like to take their time on games and be able to look back on that time and consider it well spent.
