A Quiet Place Video Game Gets Frightening New Trailer

A Quiet Place is getting its own video game. Published by Saber and developed by Stormind Games, A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead launches later this year for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

It’s a first-person, singleplayer survival horror based on the critically acclaimed films from Paramount Pictures in which a race of blind aliens have hunted humanity to near-extinction using highly evolved hearing capabilities.

The debut trailer below shows our unnamed hero cowering in an abandoned factory as they glance over a map, suggesting the game will be open-world. They then discover what looks to be a makeshift noise-maker, which you’ll likely use as a distraction.

The end of the trailer comes as our hero steps through a pair of double doors and right onto a shard of glass, which proceeds to crack loudly. That’s enough to alert the alien, who charges right at them. This is an example of how not to play A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead.

While the trailer looks to be CGI - a cutscene, in other words - Saber has released several in-game shots. They show your character exploring dark forests, dilapidated office blocks, and gas stations, all while struggling to remain silent.

In one image, the character is tipping sand out of a bag to use as a trail, just like in the first film. The sand muffles the sound of footsteps. You’ll need to use your wits and simple tools to escape your nightmarish situation.

“Experience the journey of a young woman struggling to endure not only the nightmarish creatures of the apocalypse,” says the official synopsis, “but also the anguish of interpersonal family conflicts and her own inner fears.”

The game is linked to the film universe. Speaking of which, upcoming prequel A Quiet Place: Day One gets a band new trailer .
