Myst Online: Uru Live Goes Episodic

GameTap has announced that Myst Online: Uru Live has gone episodic, with each month receiving fresh content updates.

Beginning May 19, all of the future episodes’ content and story will be released within a single week each month. Here’s a bit on the first new episode:

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.

Also, to celebrate the occasion, series 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. It will be held at A Beginner’s Bevin on May 24 at 6pm PST/9pm EST.
