Developer Chimera Entertainment has revealed that 4X strategy game Songs of Silence will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on November 13. Originally launching through Steam Early Access in June 2024, Songs of Silence is a mix of traditional 4X strategy and resource-gathering with battles that unfold at a faster pace when compared to other games in the genre.
The Art Nouveau-inspired visuals also give it a unique look and the game features an original score by Final Fantasy Tactics composer Hitoshi Sakimoto.
“The release of Songs of Silence is a huge milestone for our studio,” creative director Alex Kehr said in a press statement. “Following our journey in Steam Early Access, our players’ feedback has shaped the game into something truly special. We are so excited for the community to dive into the 1.0 version of Songs of Silence to experience its epic story campaign, hours upon hours of multiplayer content, finely-tuned combat, and tons of gameplay options that we feel reinvigorates the 4X strategy genre.”
Overall, players can expect a 15-hour campaign alongside PvP and co-op multiplayer modes. One of the other interesting gameplay mechanics in Songs of Silence is the Cards of Fate, cards that represent unique actions and abilities that can be used to change the course of battles and influence elements on the map to your advantage.
2024 has been a pretty good year for fans of the strategy genre. In addition to the early access release of Songs of Silence, other genre highlights included the recent launch of Ara: History Untold, Frostpunk 2, Homeworld 3, and Age of Mythology: Retold.
