Volume release date announced with new trailer

Thomas Was Alone creator Mike Bithell is making a noise again, this time with Volume—a stealth action game about utilising sound to distract turrets and guards. Here, in a new trailer, the game's launch date is revealed: August 18, on Steam (and PS4).

Volume is built with the hope that the community will take the existing levels and expand upon them. Everything in the base game is available to be remixed, enhanced or rebuilt. On top of that, there's a story that features voice acting by Andy Serkis and Danny Wallace.

Sam recently spent some hands-on time with the game, and you can read his impressions through this link.

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
