"It’s with extreme sadness and heavy hearts that the Microids team must announce the death of Benoît Sokal, who passed on the 28th of May 2021 after battling a long-term illness."

R.I.P syberia 1 and 2 are one of my favorite games. Hopefully this will have no impact in the new syberia game that will release soon

I cannot imagine my gaming universe without Amerzone, Paradise, Sinking Island, and all of the Syberia series. RIP Maestro, let fond words of gratitude be our wreath to you...

Many fans have asked for information, on their Discord. They got no answers.

Ich habe vom Tod von Herrn Sokal eben erst gelesen. Ich bin schockiert und sehr traurig. :-(
Amerzone und Syberia sind großartige Werke von ihm.
