Independent French developer Microids has announced a delay for Syberia 3, their upcoming “next generation” adventure game.

The game was previously set for a December 1st release, however, now it won’t release until Q1 of next year. The sequel follows the continuation of protagonist Kate Walker’s story, in which she was left for dead on an island. After being discovered by the Youkol tride, she gets wrapped up in even more obstacles.


Here are the game’s key features:

  • A brand new tale, completely different from the first two Syberia games.
  • Exceptionally immersive storytelling, multiplied by Benoit Sokal’s unparalleled artistic direction
  • Explore Benoit Sokal’s poetic universe in 3D for the first time
  • Original score by Inon Zur (Syberia 2, Fallout, Dragon Age, Prince of Persia)
  • Original, real-time 3D puzzles and mysteries

 

Syberia creator Benoit Sokal explained why the game needed to be delayed:

“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.”


Once released, Syberia 3 will be available across PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
