Sign up for strategy game Songs of Silence‘s Closed Beta, goes live August 14th

Chimera Entertainment is proud to reveal that their story-rich strategy game Songs of Silence will be getting its first Closed Beta on August 14th. Sign up here to request access, then join the Discord to participate where you’ll get access to a secret channel until the Beta test starts.

The Songs of Silence Beta will consist of two different modes: there’s the first two maps of the story-driven single-player campaign mode, which follows a young queen in search for a safe haven for her people, or the solo version of the PvE mode where you play on skirmish maps against the AI. Here players can explore the world and game mechanics on randomized maps at their own pace.

For this Beta, three biomes are available - The Light Side, The Dark World and the Silence - each with unique landscape, factions, armies and challenges. Players can test the 1000 Kingdoms faction, with access to dozens of various units to construct their armies.

“For this closed beta we want players to enjoy our game in a nearly feature complete state and we're really excited for people to finally get their hands on Songs of Silence at gamescom,” said Alex Kehr, Songs of Silence Game Director at Chimera Ent. "It's great to be returning to strategy development on PC, where Chimera has its origins. Songs of Silence is the perfect project for that homecoming. With its incredible art, deep strategy, and engrossing narrative, we think attendees will truly love it!”

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.

Songs of Silence will be playable for the first time at gamescom 2023 in Cologne, Germany. Attendees can get their first look at the game, going hands-on with the demo ahead of its release on PC and consoles, as well as meet the game’s Creative Director Alex Kehr and Lead Designer Laura Schäfer.
