But now the franchise is back. Syberia III begins with Kate Walker found left for dead by a nomadic tribe of snow ostrich farmers. This time the game is in full 3D, so the snow ostriches will really pop, and Inon Zur is doing the soundtrack, so it\u2019ll sound as nice as it looks.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Syberia 3 - Exclusive Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tEX0bPBdz_M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">More game releases this week<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/75670-games-you-can-play-this-week-contract-killing-and-careless-carnage.html\/attachment\/pc-platform-tag-2#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75676\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-75676\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/PC-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Syberia 3<br \/>\nGuardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/xbox-one-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60361\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Xbox-One-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Syberia 3<br \/>\nGuardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series<br \/>\nShiness: The Lighting Kingdom<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/60349-games-launching-this-week-2.html\/attachment\/ps4-platform-tag#main\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-60358\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-60358\" src=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/PS4-platform-tag.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"40\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Syberia 3<br \/>\nGuardians of the Galaxy: A Telltale Series<br \/>\nShiness: The Lighting Kingdom<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Article originally published on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/games\/game-releases-18-april-2017\/\">MenStuff.co.za<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Now read:\u00a0<a title=\"Permalink to Horizon Zero Dawn global sales exceed 2.6 million\" href=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/industry-news\/116411-horizon-zero-dawn-global-sales-exceed-2-6-million.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Horizon Zero Dawn global sales exceed 2.6 million<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s what you need to know about the games releasing in SA this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":116901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,3,11681,4],"tags":[4552,12038,15397,1853,24259,24179,10065],"class_list":["post-116899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nintendo","category-pc","category-playstation","category-xbox","tag-game-releases","tag-guardians-of-the-galaxy","tag-pc","tag-playstation4","tag-shiness-the-lightning-kingdom","tag-syberia-3","tag-xbox-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116899"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":116903,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116899\/revisions\/116903"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
