Kingdoms Rise and Fall in Art Nouveau-inspired Fantasy Strategy Game Songs of Silence — Available on PC and Consoles

Earlier this month, indie developer Chimera Entertainment released its action-packed, story-rich 4X strategy game Songs of Silence on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Now, we have some exciting news about the game’s future!

Developer Chimera Entertainment has shared a first look at new content and features coming to the game. In version 1.1, Songs of Silence will introduce new Scenarios. In Q1 2025, the game will receive its first DLC expansion, which adds new mechanics, heroes, units, and skills. Ongoing game updates will also improve gameplay balancing, AI, and performance and introduce new language support, Skirmish maps, and Fates. 

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 features a thrilling 15+ hour story campaign, 100+ Skirmish Maps, intense real-time battles, expansive multiplayer options, three core factions, 36 unique heroes, 118 units, and more! 

In a world divided by conflict and sundered into realms of light and darkness lies an existential threat: the Silence. Players will play their parts in this all-consuming purgatorial holy war stemming from the unstable enlightenment age. Welcome to the Age of a Thousand Kings.
