More On: Fade to Silence

Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Black Forest Games have announced that their post-apocalyptic survival game, Fade to Silence, is leaving early access on April 30th. The release version of the game will be available on PS4, Xbox One and Steam, for $49.99/39.99 respectively. The release build will include a full story campaign about a lone survivor named Ash, who befriends other lost humans to fight back against a shadowy, supernatural infection that plunged the world into ruin.

The game also has full co-op play. You can take a closer look in the trailer below.

New Content and Features in the Release Version

 

Storyline

The whole story of the game will be accessible for the first time! We've used Early Access to fine tune all mechanics of the game and will add the most important part now: The Story. Why did the apocalypse happen? Where does the infection come from, that spreads all over the lands? What happend to Ash's family? Now you can find it out!

 

Survival Handbook

We've added an automated player's journal, writing down relevant information about all aspects of Ash's adventure, whenever he encounters something new - an area, a follower, a creature or a gameplay mechanic. 

 

A brand new tutorial

Surviving in the post-apocalypse is hard and challenging. We've overhauled the tutorial from scratch, to make the first steps into the unknown world easier for new players and to give a new hint or two to veteran players, too. 

 

Dream a little dream ... 

When Ash rests, he can have vision-like dreams, where he deals with the inner voice and will learn more about the world and the story. Of course each of these sequences can be experienced again via the new dream gallery to make sure, you don't lose connection with the story if you haven't played for a little while. 

 

Tl:dr

• Implemented final story line, telling the story of Ash, his daughter Alice and the apocalypse

• Implemented dream sequences when main character (Ash) is resting

• Completely overhauled tutorial phase in the beginning of the game. Optimized on-boarding of first-time players.

• Added the survival handbook where players can look-up game and survival mechanics

• Added dream gallery where players can watch the unlocked dream sequences in chronological order.
