Pacific Drive expansion ‘Whispers in the Woods’ officially announced

Pacific Drive is a unique run-based, first-person driving survival game in which “your car is your only companion as you navigate a surreal and anomaly-filled reimagining of the Pacific Northwest”. Released back in February of last year, the debut title from Ironwood Studios was nominated for various awards and managed to sell over 1 million copies. Now, the team has officially announced Whispers in the Woods – a “terrifying new expansion to Pacific Drive.”

Releasing an atmospheric trailer, the team at Ironwood Studios officially announced Pacific Drive: Whispers in the Woods; an 8-12 hour long expansion to the original game which “takes you deep within a new and mysterious part of the Olympic Exclusion Zone's forests.”

Said to feature “strange symbols and effigies,” players will be able to “find and experience the power of Artifacts;” which are described as “a new gameplay system featuring objects that create mysterious changes and effects to you and the world around you.”

Beyond the story and artifacts, this expansion will ‘expand’ on many of the original game’s elements, introducing:

• New Garage Stations
• New Route Modifiers
• New Garage Cosmetics
• New Maps and Junction Types
• New Car Parts
• New Anomalies

Neither a price nor release date has been shared, though the Whispers in the Woods expansion is planned to arrive sometime in 2025 and can currently be wishlisted.

In case you missed it last year, Pacific Drive is certainly worth a look – especially for those who enjoy the act of driving solo, rogue-lites and a mysterious atmosphere. The game is currently on sale for 50% off.
