Myst remake could bring the legendary adventure game to PS5

A fresh leak on the PlayStation Network has reignited excitement for one of gaming’s most legendary puzzle adventures. According to newly surfaced trophy listings, a remake of Myst appears to be headed to the PlayStation 5 — meaning a whole new generation of players is about to stare at levers, push random buttons, and confidently say, “I meant to do that.” Originally released in 1993 by Cyan, Myst became a phenomenon thanks to its haunting atmosphere, mysterious island setting, and puzzles that absolutely refused to hold your hand. There were no quest markers, no glowing outlines, and definitely no NPC popping up to say, “Hey, maybe try the giant obvious switch behind you.” It was just you, your brain, and the growing suspicion that you missed something painfully obvious three hours ago.

The 2020 remake modernized the experience with fully 3D environments and updated visuals while preserving the slow-burn exploration and intricate puzzle design that made the original iconic. If the PSN trophy listing is accurate, PlayStation players may soon get to experience the beautifully remade island for themselves — this time with sharper visuals, smoother performance, and far fewer arguments with a 90s-era monitor. Trophy uploads on PSN typically appear close to launch, which suggests that an official announcement — or even a surprise drop — could be right around the corner. In gaming terms, that means it’s time to clear your schedule and prepare to take notes like you’re studying for an exam you didn’t know you signed up for.

And Myst may not be coming alone. Its sequel, Riven, has also reportedly surfaced in PSN listings. For longtime fans, that’s huge news. For newcomers, it’s a gentle warning: if you thought Myst made you feel smart and confused at the same time, Riven politely raises the difficulty and watches you sweat. While Sony hasn’t officially confirmed the releases, trophy leaks are rarely random. If Myst — and possibly Riven — do land on PS5, it won’t just be another nostalgia-driven remake. It will be the return of a foundational piece of gaming history, one that proved atmospheric storytelling and brain-bending puzzles could captivate millions. In an era dominated by massive open worlds and constant on-screen guidance, Myst’s quiet, deliberate design feels almost rebellious. It asks you to slow down, pay attention, and think things through. And if you accidentally flip the wrong switch and break everything? Well, that’s part of the charm. If the leak proves accurate, PS5 players should prepare for a beautifully remade adventure that challenges the mind, tests patience, and occasionally makes you question your life choices — all in the best possible way.
