Ubi Soft er midt i en bølge af udvidelser og i går offentliggjorde de en aftale Gores Technology Group, omkring deres datterselskab The Learning Company. Med købet af The Learning Company udvider Ubi Soft deres spilkatalog med over 80 nye titler. Blandt de mere kendte finder man Pool of Radiance, Prince of Persia, Chessmaster og Harpoon. Det der har trukket mest for Ubi Soft, er uden tvivl retten til Myst-spillene.


Myst revolutionerede i sin tid det klassiske rollespil og bød på grafik af hidtil uhørt kvalitet. 3’eren – Myst 3: Exile kommer allerede på gaden d. 7 maj i år og de offentliggjorte screenshots vidner og grafik af samme høje klasse.

Myst represents a turning point in the history of video games, with its surreal setting, sparse yet poetic storyline, and breathtaking graphics.
