A remaster of Syberia will arrive in 2025
Beloved adventure title Syberia is getting a remaster.
Syberia Remastered will come courtesy of Virtuallyz Gaming and Microids Studio Paris. The game is slated for a late 2025 release on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam) with a Quest 3 version launching at the same time. A new trailer can be seen here. Microids recently unveiled a remake of the first game in the Syberia franchise titled Amerzone.
A synopsis for Syberia Remastered reads:
More than 20 years after its original release, Syberia is reborn in a fully modernized version. Rediscover its iconic locations and unforgettable characters through a stunning visual overhaul, redesigned gameplay, and the same captivating storytelling that made it a classic.
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.
An unexpected, thrilling, and deeply emotional voyage that will challenge everything she thought she knew. First released in 2002, Syberia became a reference in the adventure genre, praised for its unique atmosphere, sharp writing, and the richness of Benoît Sokal’s artistic vision. This remaster is a new opportunity to (re)discover the masterpiece, following in the footsteps of other titles from Benoît Sokal such as “Syberia: The World Before” and the newly released “Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy”.
Aside from working on the remaster and remake, Microids is also slated to work on an animated series based on the Syberia franchise.
