While it’s not a sequel to DreadOut 2 that some fans were hoping for, developer Digital Happiness and Singapore-based publisher Soft Source Publishing have announced the next best thing with DreadOut Remastered Collection, which is set to head to the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch later this year. This remaster will include the original DreadOut, and the standalone game DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark. Details on just what the remaster includes have yet to be revealed.

“Having worked on bringing DreadOut 2 to consoles, the team at Soft Source Publishing were enthralled by the idea when Pak Rachmad CEO of Digital Happiness threw out the idea of bringing back DreadOut and DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark to consoles,” says Soft Source Publishing director Sameer Pandit in a press release (thanks, Gematsu!). “It’s an immediate thought that we want to be a part of this new project. DreadOut is an iconic IP in Asia and has been spreading its wings in the rest of the world with the release of DreadOut 2 on consoles.”

For those who don’t know, DreadOut (which you can find on Steam) is a third-person supernatural horror game that was released back in 2014 where you play as Linda, a high school student. When the group of high school students Linda was a part of became lost while on a field trip, they stumble across an abandoned town. However, the town holds a dark secret that has left Linda fighting to get out of the town. Using a similar mechanic to Fatal Frame, Linda is equipped with a smart-phone and an SLR camera, which she will use to battle against the horrors in the town and solve puzzles.

Meanwhile, DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark is a “missing chapter” from the original game, where you will help Linda face off against more ghosts and challenges in The Mirror Realm: a portal of worlds that connects it to eight haunted dominions where horrific ghosts are ready to greet her in the most terrifying way possible.

Single Player Game ‘A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead’ Heads to PC & Consoles [Trailer]

Published

Back in 2021, Saber Interactive announced that they were working on a “single-player, story-driven horror adventure game” inspired by John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place. Now, Saber Interactive and developer Stormind have pulled back the curtain on A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, coming later this year to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a new story in the A Quiet Place universe, and is designed “for fans of the films, horror games, and story-driven adventures alike.”

The story centers on a young woman struggling to endure not only the nightmarish alien creatures that have invaded earth, but also the anguish of interpersonal family conflicts and her own inner fears. With nothing more than your wits and the simple tools you can scavenge, you’ll have to overcome the many treacherous challenges and obstacles that lay ahead, all while trying to survive an ever-present threat of the unknown enemies.

As one might expect, sound plays an important part in the gameplay. You’ll need to hide, distract, and sneak past the creatures, all the while exercising caution to not make any noise. Players will need to use their wits and ingenuity to observe each environment, leverage whatever tools they can find, and overcome danger.

More info regarding A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, including its release date, is expected soon. In the meantime, players can check out the game’s official site for more info.

Meanwhile, the third entry in the film series, a prequel spinoff movie titled A Quiet Place: Day One and directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig), heads into theatres on June 28.
