Myst III: Exile is the third game in the Myst series. It is produced Presto Studios, instead of Cyan, who created the first two games.

Exile will take players on another journey in another world. The plot is based on a man whose home world was ruined by Sirrus and Achenar, Atrus's sons. He is planning his revenge on Atrus in a separate world, where he is in exile. There are five new ages for the player to explore. I suppose that you will have to explore the ages and try to stop him.

There are advancements in the game from the previous two. The main one is that gamers will be able to explore the worlds in 360°. They will be able to turn at every step, but unlike realMYST, will not be able to go anywhere they want to. There will be a lot more character interaction than in Myst and Riven. The realistic quality of the game will be the same, with moving water and such. There will be more puzzles, just in a different landscape.

Since the game is not released yet I do not have much more details, other than it promises to be fun and interesting!
