That’s why he hired THE TOXIC COMMANDO.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead - Shhh... They Might Hear You!

In a world where silence is survival, the "A Quiet Place" franchise has captivated audiences with its unique blend of suspense and horror. The latest installment, "A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead," promises to take us on another nerve-wracking journey through a world where even the faintest sound can spell doom.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is set in the same universe as the films, and actually takes place after the latest Day One film and the first installment of the movie franchise. Just like one would expect, this game's story is parallel with new characters and locations. The game doesn't feature any people or places from the films which allows for a fresh take on the adventure instead of being there after seeing that... already. What it shares with the movies is the emphasis on family facing this nightmare together will various ups and downs as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world overrun by deadly creatures known as Death Angels (if you didn't know). These extraterrestrial beings have an acute sense of hearing, making even the slightest noise a death sentence. Do you have what it takes to survive if the controllers in your hands?

The "A Quiet Place" franchise has garnered a massive following, thanks to its innovative concept and masterful execution. Directed by John Krasinski, the films have been praised for their intense atmosphere, compelling characters, and heart-pounding suspense. The unique premise of a world where silence is the key to survival has struck a chord with audiences, making it a standout in the horror genre and you're thrown into this world with sound designed to actually challenge you.

Why Watch the Movies Before Playing the Game?

If you're planning to dive into A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, it's highly recommended to watch at least one of the movies first (Day One is recommended). Here's why:

1. Immersive Experience: Watching the movies will give you a deeper understanding of the world and its rules. You'll appreciate the game's attention to detail and the eerie atmosphere that mirrors the films.

2. Character Connection: Familiarizing yourself with the characters in the film and their struggles will make the game more emotionally engaging with its original characters. You'll feel a stronger connection to the story and the stakes involved.

3. Spooky Fun: Knowing the backstory and the nature of the Death Angels will dial up the spooky fun. You'll be more cautious and aware of the dangers, making the gameplay experience even more thrilling.

A Word of Caution

When playing the game, remember to be as quiet as possible if you're using the optional 'microphone noise detection' feature. The Death Angels will respond to any noise you make, so keep your voice down and avoid any sudden movements. If they hear you, they haunt you. Trust me, you don't want to accidentally kick an empty can too hard while playing – it's never been more terrifying!

If you have an audience gathered around the TV, grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and immerse yourself in the world of "A Quiet Place." Just remember to keep it down – you never know what might be listening.

FTS: Introducing Ghost Face® – Hunt: Showdown 1896’s Stealthy New Hunter – Out October 24!

 

In a new collaboration, Hunt: Showdown 1896 partners with Fun World to bring Ghost Face® to the supernatural world of Hunt… just in time for Halloween

FRANKFURT, Germany – Oct. 21, 2024 – Hunt: Showdown 1896 has partnered with Fun World to introduce Ghost Face® to the gunslinging world of Hunt. The "Ghost Face® Rampage" DLC includes one Hunter (Ghost Face®), two weapons – the Hush (Frontier 73C Silencer) and Whisper (a Bornheim No. 3 Silencer), and a tool – Life Taker (a knife). The included weapons are silent, offering players an edge in fast-paced, close-quarters combat, which Hunt is famous for.

"Ghost Face® Rampage" retails at $9.99/€9.99 and will be available on Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on October 24.

The character was designed to fit into the 19^th century world which Hunt takes place in. This is a unique take on Ghost Face® with a never-before-seen design. Stefan Heinrich, Lead Art Director for Hunt, comments further:

“The character design was interesting to work on as it had to fit into the gritty, dark corners of the 1890s setting that Hunt is famous for. For example, the iconic mask is now a hand-carved wooded mask, weathered and cracked, a tattered, battle-worn duster replaces the robe, and to complete the look, leather holsters and gear have been added, giving him the tools of a 19th century Hunter while maintaining his iconic style. We hope Ghost Face® & Hunt fans enjoy the new DLC as much as we enjoyed designing it.”

This is a first horror collaboration for Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the perfect accompaniment as the game moves into celebrating the spooky season with its Harvest of Ghosts in-game event, going on now until Nov. 25, 2024.

Purchase the "Ghost Face® Rampage" DLC October 24 and dominate the shadows during Hunt: Showdown 1896's newest Halloween event!
