“By setting the game in this timeframe, it allows the players to explore the world and its dangers just before the narrative of the first movie begins,” Esposito tellsSFX magazinein the new issue, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2.
Despite that, don’t expect John Krasinski or Emily Blunt to rock up as supporting characters, as The Road Ahead will have no direct connection to any A Quiet Place film.
“They are set in different locations and feature entirely different characters, offering parallel stories that occur at different points in time,” he adds. “While the game draws on the same universe, maintaining the thematic and atmospheric consistency seen in the films, it doesn’t directly reference or intersect with the specific characters or scenarios from the movie. Instead, it provides a unique story that complements the larger narrative.”
