Attention all drivers! Ironwood Studios has unveiled a sneak peek at “Whispers in the Woods,” the first major expansion for their captivating game, Pacific Drive. This title, known for its unique blend of vehicular survival in a Stalker-esque setting, appears to be intensifying the horror elements with this upcoming DLC. The expansion’s trailer evokes a chilling, found-footage aesthetic reminiscent of 1970s horror films, promising a truly immersive experience.
“Whispers in the Woods” promises a substantial addition to the core game. Details from the DLC’s Steam page suggest a gameplay duration of approximately 8 to 12 hours. The expansion will feature fully voiced dialogue, new characters to interact with, and intriguing side stories to uncover. The description of the expansion’s plot is particularly evocative: “They have come to the Zone and left their mark. Travel into the whispering woods of the OEZ – a disturbing vision of the once familiar forests.”
Players can anticipate exploring new map locations and encountering different junction types. The expansion introduces fresh car parts and cosmetic items, seemingly crafted by the mysterious group mentioned in the storyline. Of course, the update will add further anomalies and variations in anomaly behaviors. A key feature of “Whispers in the Woods” is the introduction of “Artifacts,” enigmatic objects that possess the ability to alter both the player’s character and the game world, presenting new challenges and providing tools for survival.
Furthermore, “Whispers in the Woods” brings additional garage stations, route modifiers, garage customization options, and new musical compositions by Wilbert Roget II.
While a precise release date has not been announced, the expansion is scheduled to launch before the year concludes. For those who haven’t yet experienced the base game, Steam is currently offering a 50% discount on Pacific Drive, making it an ideal opportunity to embark on a thrilling journey.
