Saber Interactive, the publisher behind World War Z, has officially announced its new A Quiet Place story-driven horror game.
It's time to hold our breath, as a new video game adaption of hit horror-film A Quiet Place is coming to us from the publisher behind World War Z. Let's be real: this is one to be worried about, but also one that could really fantastic if done correctly.
Saber Interactive announced their new A Quiet Place game on October 26, labelling it "a new single-player, story-driven horror adventure game". Developed by iLLOGIKA, A Quiet Place is actually slated for a 2022 release date, so we won't have to wait long until we can play the game.
A Quiet Place Video Game Announced
This new A Quiet Place video game will likely be a very tense and frightening stealth-horror game. The films were set in a post-apocalyptic world where monsters stalk people with their unbelievable sense of hearing. Its concept proved to be a frightening and intense experience, that prompted a follow-up sequel earlier in 2021.
Saber Interactive were additionally involved in the development of the World War Z video game, as well as Evil Dead. They also played a role in the Nintendo Switch port of The Witcher 3. Their horror experience is correctly placed, but we can't help but feel concerned about this project.
The developers have now released an official new website for the game, presenting us with a "Coming 2022" release date and a message that reads "A terrifying new video game. Experience an untold story of survival in the A Quiet Place Universe".
What this reveals to us is that the game will not just be a recreation of the first film, but actually a whole new narrative set in the Universe of A Quiet Place. This is great news for fans, as most movie-games end up being pretty shocking.
A press release from Saber Interactive announced the game, stating:
This first official video game set in the terrifying A Quiet Place universe will deliver an original story and gameplay that captures the compelling suspense, emotion and drama for which the series is famous,
The description of this story seems somewhat reminiscent of Telltale's Walking Dead games, which took the world by storm back in 2012. Those games were hailed for being an impressive, imaginative, and effective adaptation of the series.
Instead of simply copying the show or comic books, those games developed an entirely separate story within the same universe. They were brutal and incredibly emotional, with a point-and-click adventure style to them. Personally, I would want this A Quiet Place video game to follow in their footsteps, as a narrative-focused game like The Walking Dead.
We can expect that the game will be properly revealed later in 2021, with a 2022 release date expected.
