Release Date: 2025
A refreshed version of the popular point & click adventure game from Microids studio. Syberia Remastered introduces greatly improved graphics, including brand new character models. Other improvements include a more modern interface, better controls and modified puzzles with more logical solutions.
Syberia Remastered is a refreshed version of the cult point & click adventure game, originally released for personal computers in 2002 (over time it also appeared on a number of other platforms). The remaster is the result of a collaboration between the creators of the original, namely Microids studio, and the French team Virtuallyz Gaming.
While working on Syberia Remastered, the developers primarily focused on the graphic design, thoroughly refreshing it. The environments have been improved and rebuilt. Efforts were made to maintain artistic consistency with the original and the remaster was overseen by the famous Benoit Sokal. In addition, the character models have been refreshed.
This is not the end, as the creators have also redesigned some of the original puzzles to increase the fluidity of the gameplay and make the solutions more intuitive. Both the interface and the control scheme have been modernized.
In Syberia Remastered we play as Kate Walker - a lawyer from New York who arrives in one of the Alpine villages to finalize the sale of an automaton factory. Following the trail of Hans Voralberg, the inventor trying to find the last living mammoths on the titular island shrouded in legend, the protagonist embarks on a journey that leads her through the snow-covered Eastern Europe. The female protagonist is not alone, as she is accompanied by a humanoid automaton named Oscar.
The adventure in Syberia Remastered takes us through various locations - from the Alpine village of Valadilene to the ice-bound Russian wastelands. As we explore them, we engage in conversations with the characters we encounter and solve puzzles that require us to interact with objects and search for specific items, as well as use them in a specific way.
