Florida-based publisher Saber Interactive knows a thing or two about fear factors, as its twisted wizards are the ones behind 2019’s “World War Z” zombie shooter and 2022’s “Evil Dead: The Game.”
The company is also in the process of tightening down the gauntlet screws and oiling the alien-chewing chainswords for its “Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2,” which will drop on Sept. 9, 2024.
Not missing a beat, Saber has just released a fresh story teaser for its latest post-apocalyptic survival game. The new title was developed by Stormind Games and is set in the same hushed world as creator/director John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place” feature film universe, where sightless alien invaders stalk prey on Earth using ultrasonic hearing skills.
That game, “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead,” is a ruthless first-person, single-player, horror adventure landing later this year, based on that blockbuster Paramount Pictures franchise that’s raked in nearly $818 million over the course of three films. The latest in this terrifying trio of sci-fi flicks, director Michael Sarnoski’s “A Quiet Place: Day One,” has already collected $178 million worldwide.
