Benoît Sokal, creator of the Syberia series, has died aged 66.
French video game company Microids said in a blog post that Sokal passed away on 28th May after battling a long-term illness.
Belgian comic book artist Sokal is perhaps best known in the world of video games for creating the Syberia adventure games. But his first game for Microids was 1999 adventure Amerzone, which was based on Sokal’s popular 1986 Inspector Canardo comic strip L’Amerzone .
