Syberia II or (Syberia 2) is a 2004 graphic adventure game developed and published by MC2-Microïds. As the direct sequel to 2002's Syberia, it is a third-person puzzle-solving game. Although it is stylistically identical, Syberia II improves upon the first game by introducing more realistic character animation. The game includes a recap of the first chapter, so it does not require the player to have experienced the first game.

The Tetraedge engine uses common data formats like ogg, png, and lua. It was also used for the macOS releases of Amerzone and Syberia.
The Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game used the Antiryad engine from Arkham Development.
