This week, independent developer Chimera Entertainment announced that its story-rich fantasy strategy game Songs of Silence will be released on November 13, 2024, on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Commanders will rise and fall in Songs of Silence, a fast-paced, 4X strategy game set in a vibrant world divided by conflict and sundered into realms of light and darkness.
Songs of Silence is a beautifully crafted mix of strategic campaigns and fast-paced tactical battles. It is brought to life with stunning Art Nouveau-inspired visuals and energized by a compelling original score by composer Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 12). The game was funded on Kickstarter in under eight hours earlier this year and initially launched into Steam Early Access in June 2024.
“The release of Songs of Silence is a huge milestone for our studio,” said Creative Director Alex Kehr. “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.”
