Syberia VR: Classic Adventure Arriving on Quest 3 This Year

Oh man, where do I even start with this? It’s like, Syberia or something—an old-school point-and-click game is getting the VR treatment on Quest 3? But hold up, let’s rewind a second. Just yesterday, there’s this big reveal about Syberia Remastered sneaking back onto flat screens. You know, the classic from way back in 2002 when people were still rocking dial-up? Benoît Sokal’s masterpiece reimagined or whatever, with a 3D world and all these snazzy puzzles. Seriously, brain bending.

Okay, picture this: Microids, the publisher, yeah? They casually confirm they’re whipping up a VR version specifically for Meta Quest 3. No jokes. But where the heck are the screenshots or trailers? Nada. All they’re saying is, Syberia VR is like its own thing, standing tall and original. Which, cool, I guess? But who’s actually developing it? Might be the same gang fixing up the Remastered version, Virtuallyz Gaming and Microids Studio Paris. Or it’s some random new crew. They’re keeping it all hush-hush, with more deets “in the coming months.” Whatever that means, right?

Quick throwback: Syberia first dropped in ‘02, sharing its universe with Amerzone—another blast from the past that got a fresh coat of paint. It stars Kate Walker, no biggie, just an American lawyer trying to hammer out a company sale after the owner kicks the bucket, only to find out the guy’s brother is still live and kicking. Plot twist, for real. Fast forward, and we’ve seen three sequels, with the latest one, Syberia: The World Before, landing in 2022.

And get this, Syberia VR is shooting for a late 2025 release on Quest 3, dropping “at the same time” as Syberia Remastered on PS5, Xbox, and PC. Timing, folks, it’s all about timing. Here’s hoping it all plays out without a hitch.
