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 of Silent Hill 2, Saber Interactive has also given us the launch date for A 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, but The Road Ahead does look like it has a lot of potential.
To quietly go
Taking A 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 for The Road Ahead itself, it’s not a straight-up adaptation of the films. It boasts its own storyline inspired by its cinematic counterpart, although a previous trailer shows 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.
