Exploring the depths of horror, Still Wakes the Deep returns with its chilling new expansion, Siren’s Rest, plunging players into an underwater nightmare next week. The expansion continues the terrifying legacy of the original game, set a decade after the events on the doomed Beira D oil rig.
Underwater settings in games rarely spell good news for protagonists, and Siren’s Rest is no exception. This time, players take on the role of a saturation diver investigating the wreckage of the rig, now lying at the bottom of the North Sea. The mission? To uncover the fate of the missing crew, but as the haunting trailer reveals, things quickly spiral into chaos.
The original game earned widespread acclaim for its gripping narrative and unsettling atmosphere. PC Gamer praised its emotional depth and “traumatic dialogue,” calling it one of the most memorable horror experiences in recent years. The expansion promises to build on that foundation, delivering another round of psychological terror and meaningful character interactions that set it apart from typical horror fare.
What makes this announcement particularly noteworthy is the developer’s commitment to post-launch support. The Chinese Room, though not a massive studio, is juggling multiple projects, including the highly anticipated Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. Despite delays plaguing that title, they’ve managed to deliver a concrete release date for Siren’s Rest, which arrives on June 18.
For fans of atmospheric horror, this expansion is a must-watch. Pre-orders are already live on Steam, offering a chance to dive back into the abyss sooner rather than later. Whether you’re returning to the Beira D or experiencing its horrors for the first time, one thing’s certain: the depths hold no mercy.
