Out of nowhere, Microids has announced a remaster of the original Syberia. Developed by Studio Virtuallyz and Microids Studio Paris, Syberia Remastered is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC in Q4 2025. Check out the first screenshots below.
Created by Benoît Sokal, Syberia released in May 2002 and received critical praise. It stars Kate Walker, who teams with Oscar, an automaton, on a point-and-click adventure to discover the titular island. The remaster modernizes the visuals with fully redesigned characters and rebuilt environments.
The puzzles have also been revamped to offer “a smoother and more intuitive experience.” Other notable changes include an updated UI and improved controls and navigation. Of course, Microids says that the game’s “contemplative and narrative soul” remains untouched.
Stay tuned for more details and updates on Syberia Remastered, including its first gameplay, in the coming months. In the meantime, check out Syberia: The World Before, the latest title in the series. Launched in 2022, it spans two periods and features a new protagonist, Dana Roze, alongside a returning Kate Walker.
