We have good news for fans of the Syberia adventure game series. Microids has announced the next installment. The game is called Syberia: The World Before. Unfortunately, the planned release date and hardware platforms were not provided. The history of the series suggests, however, that the project will certainly go to the PC.
So far, the devs have provided little information about the game. We know that the main character will once again be Kate Walker, who played this role in the previous parts. In Syberia: The World Before will be a new adventure, during which she will visit not only several continents, but also different periods of time.
The devs promise the return of the characteristic atmosphere of the series. In terms of gameplay, we can expect a classic adventure game, in which many puzzles will revolve around the use of mechanical automatons.
The project is traditionally headed by Benoit Sokal, a Belgian artist who was responsible for all previous installments of the cycle. Unfortunately, this is the end of the information revealed by the authors. We hope, however, that during the Gamescom fair we will learn something more.
The series began in 2002 with Syberia. Two years later, a continuation titled simply Syberia II was published. We have been waiting for the next part for a very long time, as Syberia 3 launched in April 2017.
