Silent Hope is an upcoming RPG set to release on October 3 for the Nintendo Switch and PC, and it’s available to pre-order right now. Here’s a guide on pre-ordering Silent Hope and what discounts you can get based on where you order the upcoming release.
What is Silent Hope?
Silent Hope is a unique RPG initially announced in June. The story and features are described as follows:
One day, a terrible calamity struck a peaceful kingdom. In the chaos that followed, the people began to deceive and backstab each other. Their King used his powerful magic to steal away people’s ability to speak and hurled himself into the Abyss. His daughter, the Princess, cried an endless flood of tears until they encased her in a giant crystal teardrop.
Many years after these events faded to memory, seven rainbow-colored lights flew from the Abyss. These rays of hope appeared before the Princess manifesting themselves as seven heroes, ready to answer the Princess’ call for help. Why did the King abandon his daughter and his people? And why did he steal their ability to speak?
Key Features
