![]() The expansion will have a few new features, like the ability to swim. In the original game, your primary goal was to seek out a series of magical tapestries hidden throughout the ages in the expansion, your goal will instead be to seek out a series of magical shells. Pursuant to the story of the original Uru, you'll continue to play as an adventurer who had been mysteriously drawn to a desert oasis and then eventually to the Relto tome where you helped to correct imbalances left by archaeological crews that had been exploring the different ages. Like in Uru, you'll begin your adventures with the aid of the mystical Relto tome-a powerful sorcerous book that transports you to a hub area from which you can jump through space and time to different "ages"-the different worlds of Uru. We were able to try out a few areas in the upcoming expansion, including the oceanic realm of Ahnonay and the mechanized deserts of Er'Cana. ![]() You can expect to encounter more puzzles and more beautiful vistas in Uru: Path of the Shell. Path of the Shell will be the final content update and the first Uru expansion that will come in a box. Uru has already been expanded upon with free content. The game had originally been announced as a massively multiplayer online game that would be expanded with subsequent content additions and expansion packs, but the online mode was scrapped in favor of free episodic updates and the occasional retail expansion. Several years and several successful sequels later, Cyan and publisher Ubisoft released Uru: Ages Beyond Myst in 2003, a visually impressive game that offered beautiful graphics to go with a series of challenging, cryptic puzzles. Myst introduced a new style of adventure games where you explored a huge, colorful world on a quest to save it, but rather than interacting with other characters you instead explored and manipulated the world itself. Graphical adventure games were forever changed when Cyan's original Myst was released years ago. Double-click the video window to view full screen.
