'Firmament' Kickstarter Reaches Funding Goal, PS4 Version Confirmed

by Rainier on April 25, 2019 @ 12:41 p.m. PDT

Firmament is a new steampunk VR adventure experience from the creators of Myst and Obduction.

Firmament is a resplendent, magical, journey — a monumental voyage through four diverse and curious realms, working in concert with an ever-present, clockwork companion, and the support and instruction of a long-dead, ethereal mentor.

Everything is not as it seems.

Deeply rooted in the spirit of Myst, Riven and more recently, Obduction, Firmament is an all-new, immersive, atmospheric adventure that will be released initially for traditional gaming on PC, and VR headsets Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

Firmament is an all-new story and experience, but it draws on and embraces the steampunk aesthetics (that define parts of Myst) to weave a rich and surprising narrative - with just a touch of magic. The player explores various fantastic worlds with the help of a mechanical adjunct. This constant companion gradually becomes an essential instrument as the player learns how to seamlessly interact, guide, and communicate with it, uncovering a remarkable chain of events.

Cyan's Firmament Kickstarter campaign has reached its $1.3 million goal, and the developer has confirmed that even if it will not reach the stretch goal, they will find a way to make up any shortfall, so we can guarantee Firmament for Mac, PS4 and EFIGS.

Firmament is scheduled for release in the summer of 2020 and be available for PS4, PC, Rift and Vive.
