One of adventure gaming’s most beloved titles will return in remastered form, as was revealed today through press release means. That is, Syberia Remastered, which was announced this morning.
“A timeless adventure, enhanced for a new generation
Developed in close collaboration by Virtuallyz Gaming and Microids Studio Paris, Syberia Remastered will give players the chance to experience the unforgettable story of Kate Walker, a New York lawyer thrown into the middle of an unexpected journey across Europe. Following in the footsteps of Hans Voralberg, she encounters memorable characters in melancholy and mysterious settings. This remaster aims to restore all the emotional and artistic power of the original work, while meeting today’s technical standards.
To guarantee a faithful, modernized experience, Syberia Remastered benefits from a complete graphical overhaul, exploiting the capabilities of today’s devices to enhance environments, characters and animations.
As part of this ambitious overhaul, Microids is also announcing the development of an exclusive virtual reality version of Syberia, specially designed for Meta Quest 3. Syberia VR will enable players to fully immerse themselves in Benoît Sokal’s unique universe, exploring the game’s iconic environments as never before. Conceived from the beginning as an experience in its own right, this version will offer an unprecedented narrative approach, while remaining faithful to the spirit of the original work. The first images and information will be revealed in the coming months
“Syberia is much more than a game – it’s an initiatory journey, an unforgettable sensory and emotional experience. With this remaster, we want a new generation to rediscover this adventure, while offering historical fans a sublimated version respectful of Benoît Sokal’s legacy.” – Elliot Grassiano, founder of Microids
Syberia Remastered is in development for Xbox Series, PS5 and PC. It is targeting a late 2025 release.
