Syberia: The World Before joins PlayStation Plus Extra on Tuesday
Syberia: The World Before for PS4 and PlayStation 5 joins the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog on Tuesday. The fourth installment in the long-running graphic adventure series marks the final, posthumous entry directed by Belgian comic artist Benoit Sokal.

The Syberia series finale recounts the story of Dana Roze, a 17-year-old girl embarking on a promising career as a pianist in the town of Vaghen, as the threat of fascism looms over Europe. Flashing forward, from 1937 to 2004, the graphic adventure continues the tale of series mainstay Kate Walker as she endures imprisonment in a salt mine in Taiga.

Music for the game is by Israeli-American composer Inon Zur, a veteran of the industry known for his scores for the Fallout series, Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age and Bethesda Softworks’ upcoming Starfield. The 27-track score clocks in at just under an hour, featuring Emily Bear on solo piano.


Decca Records' double vinyl soundtrack release ships from distributors Classical Center Stage and Play-Asia. The record comes enclosed in a gatefold jacket decorated with artwork by the creative director. The prologue script by Sokal and Lucas Lagravette is on Steam, while the digital edition of the soundtrack is streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited.

Syberia: The World Before is also available for Xbox One & Series X|S, Windows through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
