French publishing outfit, Microïds, have today announced the delay of their upcoming adventure game, Syberia 3.
The title which was initially scheduled to release on December 1st 2016, has now been penciled in for a Q1 2017 release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

We decided to add even more cinematics to this new fiction, more optional narrative sequences as well as new languages for the voice-over, which represents considerable work for teams. “
