Pacific Drive’s First DLC, Whispers in the Woods, Brings New Story and Horrors Later This Year

Ironwood Studios and Kepler Interactive have unveiled Whispers in the Woods, the first premium DLC for the acclaimed driving survival adventure Pacific Drive. The expansion is set to launch later this year on PC and PlayStation 5.

A New Story in the Olympic Exclusion Zone

Whispers in the Woods introduces a brand-new narrative that unfolds deep within a strange, effigy-filled forest in the Olympic Exclusion Zone. This expansion, available after the first few hours of the base game, pits players against a cult of anomaly-obsessed fanatics. With mysterious symbols, dangerous new areas, and bizarre Artifacts to discover, the DLC promises a chilling twist on the game’s signature survival gameplay.

Artifacts, Anomalies, and Altars

The expansion adds a variety of new mechanics and dangers to the Zone. Players will encounter new junction types, fresh anomaly behaviors, and mysterious altars tied to the group haunting the woods. Artifacts take center stage, offering strange effects that change gameplay in unpredictable ways. Your trusty station wagon also gets an upgrade, with new parts and customization inspired by the forest cult.
