We’ve still a bit to go until the Halloween season is upon us. But now seems like a good opportunity for horror fans to get a wee bit excited. Along with Bloober Team finally getting ready to launch the remake ofSilent Hill 2, Saber Interactive has also given us the launch date forA Quiet Place: The Road Ahead.
In the most recent trailer, we’re being told that the horror adaptation will be coming to us on October 17. That’s just a couple of weeks before the Spooky Season, which is always a bit of a cliché, but it does make sense.
The trailer itself is chock-full of the usual teases and snippets of gameplay. I certainly don’t want to get ahead of myself given the general reputation of video game movie tie-ins, butThe Road Aheaddoes look like it has a lot of potential.
To quietly go
TakingA Quiet Place‘s concept of remaining silent so as not to be detected by monsters should – on paper at least – translate well to the gaming sphere. Anyone who’s ever played a survival horror game where the object is to avoid combat and enemy encounters knows all too well how tense things can get.
As forThe Road Aheaditself, it’s not a straight-up adaptation of the films. It boasts its own storyline inspired by its cinematic counterpart, although aprevious trailershows there may be some story elements that have been lifted from the first movie.
In any case, I don’t want to immediately get my hopes up, but I can only contain any vague sense of excitement for so long. I am but human, after all.
