Munich, Germany. February 7th. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
Chimera Entertainment is thrilled to announce the opening of pre-registration for the Kickstarter campaign for Songs of Silence. Fans worldwide can now sign up to be among the first to experience the captivating world of Songs of Silence before its full release.
The pre-registration page for the campaign can be found here. The full campaign will launch in mid-March with Early Access release coming to Steam in April and a concurrent full PC and console release coming later this year.
Songs of Silence promises to revolutionize the strategy gaming genre with its immersive gameplay, dynamic battle system and rich narrative, offering fast-paced campaigns, intense real-time auto-battles and stunning Art Nouveau visuals. Manage kingdoms and command their armies as you explore a world divided by conflict and sundered into realms of light and darkness.

See below for the full statement from the game’s Steam page:
Dear friends – we have exciting news! Next month we’ll be launching a Kickstarter campaign to give you the opportunity to support our forthcoming game, Songs of Silence, more directly, to contribute to the final stages of development and to access some amazing, exclusive rewards.
You can follow the campaign on Kickstarter here, where you’ll be kept up to date with all developments.
We believe in the power of community. Kickstarter provides us with the opportunity to involve you directly in the creation of Songs of Silence. Your support will enable us to bring this vision to life, ensuring that every aspect of the game meets the high standards we’ve already set. It also lets us give back to our amazing fans by allowing you to be a bigger part of the game than in any other way.
Of course, it’s no secret that the games industry is having a difficult time at the moment – and we’ve weathered our fair share of the storm. There have been job losses and studio closures across the entire market, from the smallest indies to the biggest multinationals, but we will survive!
Songs of Silence will be released, even if we don’t meet our funding goal for the Kickstarter, but success here means a better game and a more secure future for Chimera.
We’re a small independent developer, and we’ve been around for a long time, but this is a big step up for us. Songs of Silence is by far our most ambitious title in the 18 years we’ve been making them. This is our IP, our world, our cast of heroes and villains. We’re more invested in this project than anything we’ve ever made before – we want to make sure we get it right.
Don’t worry, this does not affect our release plans for Songs of Silence. We’re still going to be launching on Steam in Spring as promised, but this campaign will give us the chance to reach new fans, get more feedback and make sure that the game is the best it can possibly be. If you’d like to help us further with this process, you can also sign up to our closed beta here and play the latest build of the game.
As we enter these crucial weeks before release, we’ll be redoubling our efforts in development – implementing the feedback we’ve received from the closed beta and the public demo, and polishing everything in the game to perfection. To ensure we do that properly, we want to get you involved!
We’re working on finalizing the campaign now, adding reward tiers and stretch goals, but we’re also still working hard on the game itself. We’ll be launching the full Kickstarter campaign in March, but for now you can register your interest below and receive all of the news in advance.
Join us, and be a part of something special. Sign up here to be notified of when the campaign begins!
