Going on The Road Ahead

From the trailer released, the game appears to be a solid horror title that takes full advantage of the series’ mythos. As one might expect from the series, this stealth game involves staying as quiet as possible to evade the Death Angels. Fans of Alien: Isolation and other survival horror games will gravitate to this title. Given the nature of the film saga, this opens up many opportunities for unique stealth mechanics and gameplay tools based on sound. Additionally, adding VR to the game could create a gripping horror experience. Lastly, the main protagonists’ asthma is presented as a gameplay mechanic, so this will be an interesting piece of disability rep in gaming.

A Sci-Fi Franchise

The release of this game signifies that A Quiet Place is becoming a full franchise. This summer, Paramount released A Quiet Place: Day One, a prequel exploring ground zero of the universe’s apocalypse and showcasing more characters and stories. The Death Angels have already become iconic horror monsters with their invincible stats and cleverly written weaknesses. By the end of this game, fans will have more pieces of lore to scour over and theorize about. With Part III along the way, the franchise could go to many places afterward.
