A Quiet Place video game narrative designer explains how it bridges the gap between Day One and the original movie

A Quiet Place is about to take the road less traveled with that rare thing in today’s media landscape: a tie-in video game. Set in the horror franchise’s universe, The Road Ahead is releasing on October 17 and, as senior narrative designer Luca Esposito explains, there’s plenty of freedom to be had by setting the title in-between the events of this year’s A Quiet Place: Day One and 2018’s A Quiet Place.

“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 tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Terrifier 3 on the cover and hits newsstands on October 2.
