Fans of cult classic adventure series Syberia can soon reunite with protagonist Kate Walker on a brand-new adventure – this one "across continents and through time periods" – when a fourth instalment, The World Before, comes to PC on 10th September.
The original Syberia, if you're unfamiliar, released all the way back in 2002, quickly charming adventure game fans with its gently surreal story of a New York lawyer dispatched to deal with the sale of a former automaton factory hidden in the French Alps.
An equally well-regarded sequel followed two years later, but it took a further 15 years for Walker's adventures to continue. Unfortunately, 2017's Syberia 3 was generally considered to be a bit of a dud – plagued by technical problems and flawed design – leaving many to assume its poor reception would mark the end of the series.
