Stifle your screams — A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead comes to Xbox Series X|S this year video A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead steps away from the films' plotline and focuses on a young woman attempting to survive the horrifying creatures prowling the now-silent world. Struggling with her inner fears and interpersonal family conflicts, she needs to scavenge tools and use her wits to overcome the many obstacles in her way — while being silent as a mouse.

It's a single-player first-person horror adventure game, tasking you with exploring the environment to survive its many dangers, which includes those keen-eared monsters. Survival means you'll need to run, hide, and distract the creatures if you don't want to become chow.

With Saber in the development seat, I have high hopes we could be in for a great time with A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, which sounds similar in premise to Alien: Isolation. As the creatures here hunt by sound, it'd be great if we could get a similar optional microphone feature to Isolation's, which allowed the game to pick up the sounds you make when playing, forcing you to remain as quiet as possible in your room. Saber hasn't mentioned anything like that just yet, however, so we'll likely need to wait until closer to the time to find out if there are any similar features.
