    It is sorta, it started about 13 years ago with The Starry Expanse, a bunch of people who started building Riven in a 3D engine, at some point Cyan started collaborating with them and finally took over the project completely.

      Cyan already redid Myst in real-time, fully explorable 3D with VR support. They are planning on doing this with all of the Myst games (probably not Uru). This release was not started 13 years ago, but a group of fans, The Starry Expanse, have been trying to recreate Riven on their own. Cyan saw what they were doing and instead of pulling a Nintendo and suing them into oblivion, they worked out a collaboration a year before this was announced.
