More than 20 years after it first captivated adventure game fans and became a benchmark for the genre, an iconic journey has been completely reborn for a new generation.
Syberia – Remastered, a stunningly modernised version of the 2002 classic, has launched via Virtuallyz Gaming, Microids Studio Paris, and publisher Microids. You’ll find that it is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC for £24.99.
This is not a simple port. This is a full visual overhaul, with redesigned puzzles and modernised gameplay, allowing players to (re)discover Benoît Sokal’s masterpiece in a whole new light.
A Rebirth We’ve Been Watching
The legacy of Benoît Sokal is one we’ve been following closely, especially with the recent release of Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy.
The announcement of this full-blown remake for Syberia was huge news. We’ve been tracking it since it was first announced that Benoît Sokal’s masterpiece would be reborn, and now, that day has finally arrived.
An Unforgettable Voyage Across Continents
The game begins as Kate Walker, a brilliant lawyer from New York, is sent to a remote village in the French Alps. Her mission is simple: finalize the sale of an old automaton factory. But what begins as a routine assignment soon turns into an extraordinary and poetic journey across Eastern Europe.
Accompanied by Oscar, a loyal and one-of-a-kind automaton, Kate sets out to follow the trail of Hans Voralberg, a genius inventor pursuing a seemingly impossible dream: finding the last living mammoths on the mythical island of Syberia.
This new version of Syberia has been completely rebuilt to meet modern standards, all while staying true to the contemplative and narrative soul of the original.
A Faithful and Stunning Overhaul
This is a game that has been brought to life in beautifully enhanced 3D. You’ll meet Syberia’s iconic characters, who have been fully redesigned, and explore the game’s most emblematic locations.
Every environment has been carefully rebuilt with an art direction that stays true to Benoît Sokal’s unique visual universe, offering even deeper immersion.
The team has also given a fresh take on the game’s intricate mechanical puzzles, redesigning them to provide a smoother and more intuitive experience. This is all paired with a modernized gameplay experience, including an updated user interface, improved 3D navigation, and more fluid controls tailored to today’s standards.
