About

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 Benoit Sokal's artistic vision. This remaster is a new opportunity to (re)discover the masterpiece, following in the footsteps of other titles from Benoit Sokal such as Syberia: The World Before and the newly released Amerzone: The Explorer's Legacy.

Key Features
  • A Faithful and Stunning Overhaul – Meet Syberia's iconic characters fully redesigned and explore the game's most emblematic locations brought to life in beautifully enhanced 3D. Every environment has been carefully rebuilt with an art direction that stays true to Benoît Sokal's unique style, offering an even deeper immersion into his singular visual universe.
  • Reimagined Mechanical Puzzles – Enjoy a fresh take on the game's intricate puzzles, redesigned to provide a smoother and more intuitive experience while preserving their essential role in uncovering the secrets behind Voralberg's genius.
  • A Modernized Gameplay Experience – Rediscover Kate Walker's journey with an updated user interface, improved 3D navigation, and more fluid controls tailored to today's standards, all without compromising the game's contemplative and narrative soul.
  • A Rich and Immersive World – From the alpine town of Valadilène to the frozen edges of Eastern Russia, Syberia transports you into a world of mystery, automatons, and poetic machinery. Dive into a clockpunk adventure where realism blends seamlessly with dreamlike wonder.
  • A Moving and Unforgettable Story – Experience a deeply human narrative, as Kate Walker's legal assignment turns into a profound journey of self-discovery. Filled with unexpected encounters, emotional choices, and moments of awe, Syberia's tale blurs the line between strangeness and the sublime.

 
Are these games any good? I've almost bought them like a billion times cause they're always cheap somewhere. Never have.
Maybe I should do the Quest 3 version . . .
 
I've never played the original but I'm intrigued. Is it a good game?
I think it's one of the best old school point and click games. However I have no idea what has been changed in this remaster.
I recently finished Amerzone remake and it was decent. Not going to win any awards but wasn't bad either.
 
Fantastic, 100% getting this, it's a total 3D remake, way more than a remaster and they did a fantastic job considering they obviously don't have a AAA budget behind.
The only thing missing is modern RTX reflections.

Outside of the LucasGames classics, the Broken Sword series and The Longest Journey this is one of the best point & click adventure games. Benoit Sokal was great at creating interesting worlds/stories. Hope they do it justice.
 
Always wanted to play Syberia and this remake looks like a real labor of love. Will pre-order for Xbox.

I wish the game were more colorful, given its exotic locales and bande dessinée roots, but I'm in for the story and head-scratching puzzles.

Only played (and finished) the last one (World Before) which was beautiful and just really cool adventure game.

So I might want to try this one out, now that it will finally support controller and TV play.
