Somehow I had missed the hit horror film franchise A Quiet Place getting a video game adaptation (looks like I just… Very inattentive), but barely a month after its re-release, a new take on its alien-escaping actioner comes to us – and it certainly shows potential, provided you’ve got the physique for a game of near-silent stealth and the tension of one wrong move.
A Quiet Place: The Way Forward Was Really the Way Announced back in October 2021 There’s another one before it (appropriately) goes silent for a while, and it’s the work of Stormind Games – the studio behind 2018’s surprisingly impressive clock-tower-inspired chase horror Remothered: Tormented Fathers. It hasn’t been released yet, but it’s currently expected to launch this year.
Taking place in an “eerily quiet, post-apocalyptic landscape,” A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead sees players take on the role of Alex, an asthmatic college student trying to survive the end of the world with her boyfriend Martin. She will “face interpersonal family conflicts, as well as deal with her own inner fears” – as well as make plenty of quietly insistent gestures, as the new trailer reveals.
Gameplay-wise, The Road Ahead is a first-person stealth-horror in which players have to make as little noise as possible to escape their sentient pursuers. There’s also a shotgun and a car chase, so it clearly won’t be All To become irritated and remain silent.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead doesn’t have a release date yet, but it will be available Steam, PlayStation 5And Xbox Series X/S When it finally shows up.
