Summary

• Saber Interactive announces A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, a horror game inspired by the popular movies.

• The first-person horror adventure game will launch on PC via Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.

Saber Interactive has announced A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, a horror title inspired by Paramount Pictures' critically acclaimed movies. The A Quiet Place movies 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 Ahead is 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'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 for A Quiet Place, especially with the number of indie titles that have experimented with sound-based hunting in recent years, such as Phasmophobia, Demonologist, or In 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 surrounding A 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 Ahead also 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's A 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 for A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead ended 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 of A Quiet Place firsthand. The title is available to wishlist now and will launch on PC via Steam, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
