Firmament, 2023’s puzzle adventure from Myst and Riven studio Cyan, is out now on PlayStation VR2.
Originally launched in 2023 on Steam, Firmament takes place in an abandoned steampunk world that involves exploring three realms, joined by a clockwork companion and a mysterious apparition. We’ve known for years that a PlayStation VR2 version would arrive following the initial Kickstarter campaign and while there’s been a few delays along the way, it’s now arrived on PS4, PS5, and PS VR2.
It’s the latest original title from Cyan, who’s continued adding optional VR to its titles across the years. The studio’s previous efforts included 2020’s remake Obduction and a remake last year of the classic adventure’s sequel Myst. Firmament is launching PlayStation VR2 at a challenging time. After laying off Riven back in March due to current “industry conditions,” Cyan Firmament 2.0 last week on Bluesky that it’s had another round of layoffs, sharing a spreadsheet of 14 former employees now (or still) seeking employment.
It’s unknown exactly how many staff members were affected in this latest round, and the studio previously half its staff that the listed employees shared their details voluntarily on this spreadsheet. We may not be aware of all the employees affected. We’ll update this article if we learn more.confirmedFirmament is available now on
