'Songs Of Silence' Early Access Launch Pushed Back A Few Weeks

by Rainier on May 8, 2024 @ 9:45 a.m. PDT

Songs Of Silence is a story-rich strategy game, set in two distinct fantasy worlds threatened by the all-devouring Silence.

Featuring both a single-player campaign and competitive multiplayer modes, Songs Of Silence features a unique mix of turn-based kingdom management, exploration, and hero development, contrasted with short and intense real-time battles.

Unleash your armies in exciting real-time battles and support them by casting powerful combat spells from your heroes. With more than 100 different units available, there’s plenty of deep customization when it comes to constructing your very own army. Engagements are decisive and focused, only lasting around a minute!

Songs Of Silence offers a fresh take on strategy games where cards represent the unique actions granted by heroes and locations. Each faction and hero has their own, distinct play style - both on the strategic map and in battle. Choose from hundreds of cards ranging from boosting the growth of your cities to spreading the life-devouring Silence. The options are nearly limitless!

Songs Of Silence also features a soundtrack by legendary composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, best known for scoring Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 12, and Valkyria Chronicles.

After the successful conclusion of our Kickstarter campaign for Songs Of Silence last month, Chimera Entertainment has plenty to work on, with stretch goals to develop, physical rewards to design and manufacture and plenty of feedback from our demo and closed beta to implement! We're actually extremely happy about this, but we are also going to have to push back a little from our previously announced Early Access release date of May 23rd.

Songs Of Silence will now launch into Steam Early Access on June 4th, 2024. We do not expect this to affect the date of the full release or the fulfilment of our Kickstarter rewards.

Whilst we recognise that any delay can be frustrating for fans, we're confident that it will be worth it, with a better product hitting Steam from day one. We hope you'll stick with us through the Early Access period as we fine tune Songs of Silence into the masterpiece we know it can be. 

Whilst we're working on that, we're also wrapping up after our Kickstarter, and we can't wait for these incredible pledge rewards to start landing in our backers' homes!

If you missed your chance at securing some of our delicious rewards during the campaign, or you have a friend who needs  the art book in their life, fear not! We've added a post-campaign pledge manager with our partners BackerKit where you can extend an existing pledge or create an entirely new one. 

All physical rewards are on the same timescale as the development of version one of the game, with the goal to complete and deliver around late Summer, 2024. We're still calculating delivery costs, but we'll be back with more information on that very soon.

Key Features:

  • Two Worlds at War: Lead mighty armies, exploring the world on the strategic map to gain a tactical advantage. Outwit your opponents with deadly ambushes, and manage precious resources to rebuild the ravaged land and defeat your rival kingdoms.
  • Legendary Music: Experience an evocative score by renowned composer Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkyria Chronicles).
  • Single-player & Multiplayer Modes: Play on your own in the story-based single-player campaign, or face off against real opponents in fast-paced online multiplayer for up to six players.
  • A Vibrant Fantasy Universe: Discover an original, atmospheric world captured with colorfully detailed, art nouveau-inspired visual design and compelling voice-over narration.
  • Progress with Each Playthrough: Songs of Silence rewards multiple playthroughs with a roguelite progression system. Unlock new factions, heroes, campaigns, maps and more with each game.
  • Master Dynamic Real-Time Battles: Unleash your forces in fast-paced, real-time battles and drive them to victory by playing powerful combat cards from your heroes.

Songs Of Silence is in development for PC (Steam).
