Mat Van Rhoon has announced the Pandora Directive Remaster has been put on hold.

My continued involvement in Tex Murphy

Some folks might be asking what this means for the future of Tex Murphy projects, including the Pandora Directive Remaster. Until now, I have been dedicated to doing my part in that project in my spare time. These tasks include remastering the full motion video from the original tapes, redesigning the game environments, remastering the sound and music, and modernizing the game design. For the most part, those tasks have been conquered, and the logical next step would be to get the band back together again to march the project towards the finish line. However, that will require more than a part-time, passion project level of dedication. The entire team will need to be back on board 100%. Anything else would disrespect both the project’s contributors and critical stakeholders. Not everybody is available or willing to commit to this right now. However, many of us who still want to complete this project will remain on standby until the entire team is ready to engage and support it together.

I guess the only thing remaining left to say is, welcome to Terabbite Studios!



Not good news. I know many were excited about this remaster including myself. They were getting to the finish line. In the meantime Mat has pursued a new IP in The Last Ark.

From the description of the "Gameplay" The Last Ark is leaning towards some type of "Management" game. I'm not sure. With development just getting under way who knows where Mat will take it. It is described as:

"a thriller that will deliver a new twist on consequential, choice-driven narrative gameplay


For now The Last Ark is scheduled for a 2026 release


It's never too late!

Very disappointing to learn of this, but thank you for letting us know. Pandora Directive is one of my all-time favorite games and I will still be happy to replay the original, regardless. wave

Thank you Orion, darn but for a change, there are several other 'GreyFuss' games in the works and hopefully that by the time each of those are released and I have played them the Pandora Directive Remastered will once again be alive and production will be resumed. .

Thank you Ana, I hope it is a good game for many to enjoy. With Mat behind the project the chances are good it will be as long as this team does not take off

I hope you are right GreyFuss. Something tells me there might be more going on behind the scenes that we are not being told. How do you spend countless hours remastering from old original tapes just for some to abandon it. It does not sound good. And they were doing such a great job....sad.....BUT my fingers are crossed!
