Cyan, Inc., the award-winning indie studio that created best-selling classics, Myst and Riven, today announced that their critically-acclaimed sci-fi adventure game, Obduction, is now available on PlayStation® in a special $29.99 bundle that includes both PS4™ and PS VR versions, as well as intriguing new exclusive content.
Providing a peek at the bonus content, Cyan has released a never before seen screen that reveals the new area – a mysterious Russian submarine inside a large cavern. The new content also includes greater insight into the backstory of the characters and places, and two new music tracks composed by Cyan software and audio engineer, Hannah Gamiel.
The PS VR version was made possible in part by a partnership with Legendary VR, a division of Legendary Pictures, the Hollywood studio best known for the The Dark Knight Trilogy, 2014’s Godzilla and recent blockbuster, Kong: Skull Island.
“Legendary has always been driven by a passion to empower great storytellers to tell great stories, no matter the medium. Having successfully developed innovative storyworlds across film, television, comics, live experience and virtual reality, Legendary is thrilled to have an opportunity to continue pushing back the narrative boundaries of storytelling by bringing our brand of elevated, fully immersive VR to the gaming space alongside a groundbreaking studio like Cyan, who has truly revolutionized the computer gaming experience for its fans,” said Ethan Stearns, VP, Legendary VR.
“We already had a great relationship with Legendary Pictures as they have the options for a Myst TV show. Now as they expand into VR for both interactive and entertainment, it’s very exciting to be working work with them on the roadmap ahead,” said Rand Miller, CEO of Cyan, Inc.
Obduction launches today on the PlayStation®Store on PS4™ with a PS VR update coming soon. The PS4™ purchase of Obduction includes the PS VR update.
Obduction PS4™ demo is playable in the PlayStation® kiosks at GameStops, Best Buys and Walmarts worldwide, and will be playable with the Cyan dev team at PAX West in the PAX IndieMegabooth, September 1-4, at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle.
