June 18, 2024 – PlayStation has thrilled fans with the announcement of “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead,” set to release for the PS5 in 2024. The news was shared on PlayStation’s official Twitter account on June 17, 2024. This new game aims to expand the universe of the popular horror film series “A Quiet Place,” created by John Krasinski.
The game is being developed by iLLOGIKA, known for their work on various VR and AR projects, in collaboration with Saber Interactive and EP1T0ME Studios. Unlike many games that focus on combat, “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead” emphasizes stealth and survival, reflecting the silent tension of the movies.
The game promises an immersive experience, allowing players to navigate a post-apocalyptic world overrun by sound-sensitive creatures. The gameplay preview, which is available on the PlayStation website, showcases the eerie and atmospheric design that fans of the films will recognize.
Plot and Gameplay Details
“A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead” does not follow the storyline of the films directly but rather tells an original story within the same universe. This approach allows for new characters and scenarios, providing fresh content for both fans of the films and newcomers to the franchise. Players will need to use their wits and stealth to survive, avoiding the terrifying creatures that hunt by sound.
The game’s creative director, Hervé Sliwa, mentioned in an interview that the game will offer a level of immersion and tension that players have not experienced before. “Our goal is to make players feel the same fear and urgency as the characters in the movies,” Sliwa said.
