CNET's Gamecenter has just posted a preview of the next installment in the Myst series of adventure games, Myst III : Exile. There is not much information provided, other than a brief description of the plot, an integral element to this series from Cyan. However, there are thirteen new images to whet your appetite, including completed images and concept art. Here's an excerpt from the preview:

Atrus and Catherine, the husband and wife whom players rescued in the first two games, are now living quietly in their new home, Tomahna, with a baby daughter named Yeesha. Their hope is to live a life of peace and quiet, but of course this is not to be. A new villain--played by Academy Award nominee Brad Dourif--enters the scene, a man whose homeworld was destroyed by Atrus's sons Sirrus and Achenar and who now seeks revenge. The player must explore five completely new ages and solve all-new puzzles to uncover the truth behind this villain's evil scheme.
