Syberia 3 is a graphic adventure video game developed by Microïds and published by Anuman for macOS, PlayStation 4, Windows, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It is the third entry of the Syberia series and follows the adventures of American lawyer Kate Walker as she travels to various locations in the former Soviet Union.
In November 2012, Microïds revealed that Sokal had officially signed a contract with Anuman to write the story of Syberia 3, the development had started and the game will be overseen by Elliot Grassiano, the original founder of Microïds. The game was scheduled for release in 2014-2015. On 21 August 2013, it was announced that the game had gone into production. The game's first screenshots were shown on 13 August 2014, and the stated release was given as of 2015 on Android, iOS, OS X, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. The game was released in April 2017, dubbed in English language, French language, German language, Polish language, Spanish language and Russian language, with subtitles in Italian language, Dutch language, Czech language, Korean language and Chinese language.
To promote Syberia 3, an augmented reality app titled Syberia AR - Meet Kate Walker was released as a complimentary download on the Apple Store in 2015. It was meant to be used for the 56th Venice Biennale at the Glasstress, which was jointly organized by the State Hermitage Museum and Berengo Studio. In November 2017, a DLC expansion was released entitled " An Automaton with a Plan", where the player assumes the role of the automaton Oscar.
Elise Favis's scored the game 5/10 on Game Informer and said "The Syberia series is a product of its time, and Syberia 3 doesn’t bring back any excitement. It is plagued by bugs, a disappointing storyline, cliché characters, and puzzles that are more frustrating than fun. This return fails to do the series justice, feeling more like an unpolished and dated adventure game instead of a revival."
GameSpots Michael Highham scored the game 4/10 and concluded: "Slivers of enjoyment and potential are found within a disconnected and underwhelming journey. The characters, their interactions, the way they speak, and the reason they even exist all mash into a puzzle-adventure game devoid of significance or impact. The Syberia series deserved a better return, otherwise, it should've been left in the past."
PC Gamers Fraser Brown scored the game 30/100, saying "Some solid puzzles can't rescue what is an otherwise terrible adventure game." Fraser criticized the game for its disconnected story, poor graphics and animation, subpar translation to English, awkward voice acting and unmitigated that severely damage the gaming experience.
