Summary
Saber Interactive has announcedA Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, a horror title inspired by Paramount Pictures' critically acclaimed movies. TheA Quiet Placemovies see a world invaded by aliens who hunt through sound, creating a world in which everyone has to go silent to survive. This results in some extremely intense sequences and masterful sound design.
According to a press release from Saber Interactive,A Quiet Place: The Road Aheadis a first-person, single-player horror adventure game in which players hide, distract, and sneak past brutal, predatory creatures. Much like the films,the game will heavily involve stealth, as even the slightest sound can result in death.
A Quiet Place Complete Timeline Explained
As the franchise continues to expand, A Quiet Place’s timeline becomes more explored. We break down the movie’s complete, chronological timeline.
A Quiet Place’s World Is Perfect For Stealth-Based Horror
Indie Titles Have Experimented With Similar Premises Involving Players' Microphones
First-person survival horror seems like the perfect genre forA Quiet Place, especially with the number of indie titles that have experimented with sound-based hunting in recent years, such asPhasmophobia,Demonologist, orIn Silence. Those titles mainly used microphones to track players who made a sound, and while there’s no mention of such a mechanic in the press release surroundingA Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, with it likely using environmental noises instead, it certainly serves as a strong indicator of how intense the gameplay could be.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead’s reveal trailer showed some of these environmental hazards through a sequence in which a player was navigating an abandoned power station, and even treading on a shard of glass on the floor resulted in near-instant death.
A Quiet Place: The Road Aheadalso won’t retread the same storylines as the movies, instead focusing on a new young survivor, with mention of a “new nightmare of the apocalypse” indicating that it will be in the earlier days of the alien invasion like this year’sA Quiet Place: Day One, rather than the first two films, which took place years later. This should encourage players to carve their own path through the apocalyptic world, navigating this new threat.
The trailer forA Quiet Place: The Road Aheadended with a 2024 release window, and as it’s already over halfway through the year, players shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to explore the eerily intense post-apocalyptic world ofA Quiet Placefirsthand. The title is available to wishlist now and will launch on PC via Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
