Pacific Drive expansion Whispers in the Woods debuts
Seattle-based developer Ironwood Studios' Pacific Drive has launched for Xbox Series X|S, published by Keplar Interactive. The newly unveiled "Whispers in the Woods" expansion introduces new gameplay systems, additional content, a fully voiced cast of characters, and more terrifying secrets to uncover.

Set in the Pacific Northwest, Pacific Drive casts players in the role of a survivalist traversing the anomaly-filled Olympic Exclusion Zone. Utilizing a garage as a base of operations, the run-based driving game challenges players to scavenge for resources from abandoned research sites, while customizing and maintaining your trusty station wagon.

Each excursion into the wilderness, on the road toward unraveling a long-forgotten mystery, is visited by anomalous weather patterns, mysterious technologies, and severe radiation.


Composing original music is Wilbert Roget II of Star Wars Outlaws. In addition, Ironwood licensed tracks from fifteen local bands based in the Pacific Northwest.

The Original Soundtrack is published via the Laced Records Bandcamp page. Mastering for the album is by Jordan Fehr. The Radio Soundtrack album is streaming on Apple Music and Spotify, published by Ironwood Studios.

Pacific Drive is also available for PlayStation 5, along with Windows through Steam and the Epic Games Store.


From the product page:
In the shadow of towering evergreens in the Pacific Northwest, you find yourself trapped behind a 300-meter wall. Why was it built and who or what are Remnants? Mysterious voices traverse the airwaves questioning you, warning you. Battling against the elements and anomalies, only one thing is certain, you and your car won’t leave The Zone unchanged.

Left untouched for over thirty years, the Olympic Exclusion Zone is home to all manners of hazards and mysterious phenomena known as anomalies. With only your station wagon for company, navigate the winding roads as you attempt to untangle a web of secrets that have surrounded the area since the 50s. Gather resources to upgrade your car and uncover more clues as you venture further and farther out into the unknown.
