The company known for some of the best point and click adventure games of recent times, Microids, has just announced a rather strange project: it released the official website for the Syberia Series. Yes, we're talking about Benoit Sokal's masterpiece, the same which got its last game released in 2004 (according to the creator, a Syberia 3 game will not exist).
However, I must admit I find Microids' decision to release the website quite strange and they could have a serious reason to do that. And what would be more serious than preparing the grounds for a third installment in the series?
Indeed, there will be a game released by the end of the year, Syberia for the DS - a remake of the original title for the handheld, but we truly doubt that's a project big enough to deserve its own website (especially since it is actually placed at the bottom of the page).
The people at Microids stated that they created the official website for the series to bring together wallpapers, trailers, walkthroughs, demos and patches, as well as more details on the titles. Also, the company is said to be glad to bring together all the discussions in one forum, which was managed and animated over the last few years by a team of Syberia fans. Although all the stated reasons might be strong enough to deserve a website, we truly hope that a new Syberia game is actually in the works.
And, even though the creator of the series, Benoit Sokal, as we've said before, announced that Syberia 2 as the last game, it is still his most successful title, even though he released two more decent games in the meantime, Paradise and Sinking Island. Not to mention the fact that Syberia fans are still wondering what happened with Kate after she reached Syberia... So, what do you think? Wouldn't it be great to get a Syberia 3 from Microids and Mr. Sokal?

| Comment #1 by: wolfffff on 27 Jul 2008, 11:40 GMT |  reply to this comment | I don't see any reason why they wouldn't do it, i mean Syberia series is truly the best adventures ever made , maybe Kate will no longer be the main character , think of a third series where Han's close relatives would be the protagonists so we could see more of Han's personality and genius , that would be beyond awesome... |
| Comment #2 by: hut5th on 21 Aug 2008, 02:43 GMT | reply to this comment | I would be thrilled if another adventure game with Kate Walker would be developed and released, or at least one which would sequel Syberia II. The best adventure game I've found thus far. |
| Comment #3 by: Winnorf on 04 Sep 2008, 15:35 GMT | reply to this comment | Syberia I and II needs a III and a IV. I have not found any adventure game that measures up to the adventures of Kate Walker. Perhaps, a comic book would also be in the making. |
| Comment #4 by: Saviour on 05 Sep 2008, 22:08 GMT | reply to this comment | I was one of the first few ppl in my country to finish these two games or should I say, "works of art" first. Maybe Syberia made a mark in us that we should not change. It's an adventure game. We all know that Kate Walker is an adventure person and she manages to do almost anything. So I don't think pulling on the old strings again would be a good idea. Rather Mr. Sokal should make a new adventure game using the same platform. The game as good as it is, was made even better by the graohics, sound and superb animation in a low memeory platform which was a stroke of genious. On behalf of all the Siberia fans, I thank the real Hans Voralberg (Mr. B. Sokal) of our time for giving us a taste of his genius... |
