Benoît Sokal died in May of 2021.
While he was a celebrated comic artist in his own right, the gaming world knew him best as the creative force behind the Syberia adventure game series. At the time of his death, he was working on the fourth installment in the series, Syberia: The World Before, which was still almost a year away from completion.
That final stretch to release would be overseen by Syberia: The World Before game director and lead writer Lucas Lagravatte.
