June 2012 launch marked for Myst 3DS

A June 2012 release date for the Nintendo 3DS version of Myst has emerged through the fog, with Funbox Media handling publishing duties.

The latest version of the enduringly popular puzzle adventure will feature revamped 3D visuals thanks to the 3DS' signature stereoscopic screen, which will help to breathe new life into the 1993 megahit.

Myst transports players to the eponymous fantasy island and challenges them to explore their surroundings, learn about the history of Myst and figure out how to get home.

Featuring six worlds and more than 80 hours of gameplay, it has sold more than 13 million copies and was once the best-selling PC game ever.

Myst has also proved a common staple of recent handheld console libraries, with versions appearing on Nintendo DS and PSP.

Mark Clemens, sales manager at Funbox, said: "We're sure it's going to be a big hit with the fans that remember the original and those that will be new to one of the greatest adventure games ever."
