Microids (developing and publishing the game) has confirmed one platform to receive the next Syberia game this year.

If you play on PC, you can celebrate: you can start looking into the next Syberia game in December, but for the console owners (we have yet to hear who…), patience is needed until the 2022 launch. Microids additionally confirmed a Digital Deluxe Edition for 50 dollars. It will contain the soundtrack by Inon Zur (Syberia 3, Fallout, Dragon Age, Prince of Persia), an excerpt of the original script, a digital artbook, and numerous wallpapers, avatars, and original storyboards drawn by creator Benoit Sokal (who unfortunately has recently passed away, we discussed it in detail here). If you pre-order any version, you will get the digital artbook.

Here’s an overview of the game, provided by Microids: “Vaghen, 1937: Dana Roze is a 17-year-old girl who is beginning a brilliant career as a pianist. However, shadows start to appear over her future as the fascist threat of the Brown Shadow hangs over Europe at the dawn of the Second World War. Taiga, 2004: Kate Walker survives as best she can in the salt mine where she has been imprisoned when a tragic event propels her into a new adventure searching for her identity.

[…] Set off on an adventure across continents and through time. Play as both Kate Walker and Dana Roze as you get to the bottom of mysteries that have remained buried for too long. Explore the fantastic and poetic world of Benoit Sokal, with its breathtaking sceneries and iconic characters. Unveil a mysterious plot sprinkled with puzzles in the traditional Syberia’s fashion! Discover two captivating stories with incredibly high stakes written by Benoît Sokal and Lucas Lagravette,” Microids wrote.

Syberia: The World Before will launch on December 10 on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), and next year on unspecified consoles. If we had to guess, we’d pick the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch trio.
