The PC version of Syberia: The World Before will launch via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on March 18, publisher Microids announced.
Originally planned for release on December 10, 2021, the adventure game was delayed to further quality improvements.
“We wanted to offer the best possible experience and pay a massive tribute to Kate Walker’s epic adventures envisioned by Benoit Sokal,” Microids said in a press release. “These extra weeks allowed the studio Koalabs and our team to be confident about delivering the game you deserve.”
Microids also announced that the game’s original score, composed by Inon Zur and already available on streaming platforms, will be available on vinyl alongside the game’s release.
Console versions of Syberia: The World Before are planned for release in 2022.
