The Syberia series is point-and-click adventure royalty, and the colourful and romantic clockwork worlds of Benoît Sokal's devising are classics of the genre. The first and second entries are playable on PS3, the third on PS4, and a fourth game, Syberia: The World Before, is coming to PS5 in November, and to PS4 in 2023.
To celebrate, developer Microids has released a trailer, and a new blog series called Backstage, examining the series' legacy, and looking at its next instalment.
The Syberia series follows the journey of American lawyer Kate Walker, set in a steampunk world full of mystery, adventure, mammoths and curious clockwork automatons. Its gameplay is indicative of the era, with players solving puzzles by interacting with the environment and exploring in order to push the narrative forward.
Originally launching on PC to positive reviews, Syberia: The World Before is getting a special collectors edition on PS5.

That 1st Syberia game was fantastic, the best adventure game I've ever played. That background music of Valadilene still amazes me.
And with it leaving ps plus extra?
@Resi32 what better way to celebrate than by making it so people can't play the game anymore? Nintendo did it with their Mario Battle Royale and everyone loved that limited time "celebration".
@Milktastrophe Buy it physically.
If they take it down, can you still play it, or is it removed from your console? I'm on Essential, for the cloud storage more than anything. If there was an even cheaper tier than Essential, that was just cloud storage, I would go for that instead.
I really hope they'll be releasing a collection of the first three games for PS4/5.
Loved the first one. Played on PC back in it's time. I would say point and click adventures are my fav. Imy first contact with adventure games started was Larry 1 with text commands... That wasn't point and click but 😅
@IMustardMitt PS4 can't play PS3 discs.
@Khayl Not sure if I’m missing something, but a quick check of the PS store only shows the third entry in the trilogy available on PS4.
@Amnesiac Wikipedia deceived me. Thanks for the catch! Updated
