Microids have announced the next game in the Syberia adventure game series, Syberia: The World Before.

Continuing the adventures of Kate Walker as she journeys across continents and time periods, the games will use the art of Benoît Sokal. Sokal is the game’s Artistic Director and author of the game’s story. He had this to say:

“Today, I’m very happy to be able to continue Kate’s journey and share this adventure once again with the team at Microïds. We want to give the fans a story with an atmosphere that’s just as mysterious as the previous episodes, with even more automatons to operate, puzzles to solve and unusual characters to meet. I can’t wait to share more of the game’s progress and universe with you.”

Elliot Grassiano, Vice-President at Microids also had high praise and expectations:

“Two years after the release of the last episode, we understand that fans are curious and eager to discover the next installment of the adventure from our much-loved Kate Walker. The game is already under development and we are delighted to be reunited with Benoît Sokal’s unique universe. This latest adventure will offer fans of the series a chance to learn more about our heroine and re-immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the first games.”
