With two previous incredible and whimsical adventures under their belt, the team at Microids are working hard on the third opus of the Syberia saga. However, the company has decided to make the difficult decision to postpone the release of Syberia 3 to Q1 2017.
Elliot Grassiano, Vice President of Microïds commented, “After the unprecedented excitement we have seen for this game, and we decided to bring even more depth to Kate Walker’s new adventure. We are aware that fans around the world are eager to embody Kate Walker again but we need additional time to provide them with an adventure that can live up to their expectations in this fascinating universe created by Benoit Sokal.”
Benoit Sokal, founder and creative director of the Syberia saga also adds, “I am obviously disappointed that Syberia 3 is delayed because we would like to release our games as soon as the storyline is written, but I’m also relieved that Microïds has taken the decision to postpone the game’s launch because it is essential to offer players the best gaming experience possible. We decided to add even more cinematics to this new fiction, more optional narrative sequences as well as new languages for the voice-over, which represents considerable work for teams. ”
Players will join Kate Walker on her newest and most daring adventure yet. They will benefit from a brand new way to freely explore gorgeous landscapes, and solve the same caliber of amazing puzzles in a different way than before.
The story begins with heroine Kate Walker found left for dead on a shore by the Youkol tribe, a nomadic people who care for their snow ostriches during migration. Together with the Youkols, Kate is imprisoned in the city of Valsembor. Kate must work together with the Youkols in order to continue their journey. While Kate must deal with her past catching up with her.
Syberia 3 will be available in Q1 2016 for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. The original soundtrack is composed by Inon Zur (Fallout 4, Dragon Age, Prince of Persia) who has already scored Syberia 2.
