Syberia 2 interview

GameGossip has interviewed author and artistic director Benoît Sokal about the upcoming Syberia 2. Here's a clip from the interview:

GG: With the adventure genre considered dead by most major publishers and development teams, what moved Microids to make a big time adventure series, such as Syberia? Did the sales of the original Syberia make you feel that there still are enough gamers out there, who enjoy the genre, to make the adventure game a viable one to develop?

 

BS: Well overall, we sold over 350 000 copies of Syberia - PC and Xbox. These figures are considered Best-Sellers for that genre. It may not be huge compared to the Enter the Matrix game but it is still very good figures that makes this genre very viable for a developer like Microids.
