Syberia celebrates its 20th anniversary, Microids unveils a retrospective video and launches its blog

    2022 celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Syberia saga. The latest episode, titled The World Before, was released last March and brought the series back to critical acclaim. It is in addition to the last opus written and directed by Benoît Sokal, who died of cancer on May 28, 2021. Also, to pay tribute one last time to the Belgian creator, Microids has decided to make a small retrospective in video, in order to remember the evolution of the saga, but also of its main character: Kate Walker. We also recall that in The World Before, Kate shares the poster with another character: Dana Roze.



    It is also an opportunity for the French publisher to leave a word to the Syberia community, still present, through Elliot Grassiano, founder and COO of Microids.

     



    In the mid-90s, the meeting between Benoît Sokal and Microids gave birth to L'Amerzone: Le Testament de L'Explorateur. Acclaimed by players and the press for its audacity, its scenario and its avant-garde mechanics, this title gave Benoît the opportunity to continue to develop his imagination in the world of video games. For 20 years now, it has been a real honor to be able to offer players around the world the opportunity to immerse themselves in the universe created by Benoît, through the various episodes of Syberia.

    Today all our thoughts go to this talented artist, who left us in 2021, as well as to his wife Martine and his children Hugo and Jules, without whom these various projects would not have been possible. It was important for us to offer fans this video which looks back on the highlights of this cult video game saga.


    At the same time, Microids also announced the opening of Microids Backstagea blog dedicated entirely behind the scenes regarding the development and creation of its games. Several times a month, Microids intends to post interviews, meetings and files on the various Microids productions. We imagine that Paul Cuisset will have things to tell us about Flashback 2, just like Bernard Werber who seems in a hurry to share things about the reboot of the game "Les Ants" taken from his bestseller.
