Silence – The Whispered World 2 Now Coming To PS4

 

Silence, which we covered back in late October 2014, has now been confirmed for release on PlayStation 4, after originally only being announced for PC and Xbox One. The studio manager at Daedalic, Steffen Boos says: “We now also have Sony’s approval and we’re looking forward to make Silence available to PlayStation 4 players. This makes Silence a fully-fledged multi-platform project; for the first time, we can release a game for the high end current-gen consoles which is an important cornerstone for the company. We strongly believe that narrative-driven games like ours will be well received among console players.“

A strange sounding sequel to 2010’s The Whispered World, Silence sees players as Noah – a boy searching for his lost sister “in the turmoil of war”. He manages to finds her, however finds himself trapped in ‘Silence’ – “the world he once travelled as Sadwick the clown”. Fearing there is no way back from Silence; Noah joins, along with his sister, a group of rebels led by a girl named Kyra. And “they’re the last bastion of resistance against the terrible seekers – mysterious creatures washing over Silence in ever growing numbers”. And, of course, it is up to Noah to find a way back home.

As I mentioned in my original article the graphics have been given a bit of an overhaul – still looking very colourful and charming, but noticeably different in style from the original title. The Whispered World was a fantastic point and click game set in a mystical and enthralling world, so I am very excited to be given another title in the universe.

Silence is scheduled for release in late 2015 for PC, Mac, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
