Microids slates Syberia Remastered for release on November 6th
Syberia Remastered by Microids Studio Paris, developed in collaboration with Virtuallyz Gaming, is scheduled for release on November 6th.

In addition to new character art and enhanced 3D locations, the developers have redesigned the adventure game's intricate puzzles for a smoother and more intuitive experience. The remaster of the 2002 point-and-click adventure game, designed by Belgian comic artist Benoît Sokal, will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows through Steam.

The story of Syberia follows protagonist Kate Walker, a brilliant lawyer from New York, as she pursues inventor Hans Voralberg to a remote village in the French Alps. Walker encounters a lifelike automaton named Oscar, introduced in the reveal trailer. The comparison trailer can be viewed on Microids' YouTube channel.

Syberia Remastered for Meta Quest 3 and 3S headsets is currently in development. Available for adding to wishlists, the Meta product page reads, "After four iconic titles on PC and console, Syberia enters VR for the very first time. Embody Kate Walker as you journey to the forgotten areas of Europe in search of a brilliant inventor, and step directly into the surreal, poetic world of Benoît Sokal like never before."


From the Steam product page:
Kate Walker, a brilliant lawyer from New York, is sent to a remote village in the French Alps to finalize the sale of an old automaton factory. But what begins as a routine assignment soon turns into an extraordinary journey across Eastern Europe and its snow-covered landscapes.

Accompanied by Oscar, a loyal and one-of-a-kind automaton, Kate sets out to explore mysterious and forgotten places, filled with eccentric characters, as she follows the trail of Hans Voralberg, a genius inventor pursuing a seemingly impossible dream: finding the last living mammoths on the mythical island of Syberia.
