Silence: The Whispered World II lands on Xbox One early next year, Daedalic Entertainment has announced.

The visually-distinctive adventure game, which was previously announced for both PC and Mac , will release simultaneously on all three platforms. Silence has always been a multi-platform project”, said Daedalic studio manager Steffen Boos. “From early on, we planned to release Silence – The Whispered World 2 on consoles as well, but we wanted to make absolutely certain the controls were tuned to each platform before announcing its console status."A spiritual successor to the company’s previously released The Whispered World, Silence follows a young orphan boy named Noah who must rescue his little sister from the whimsical but dangerous dreamland featured in the original game. Silence eschews an item inventory in favor of purely contextual puzzles, though you can still expect plenty of tear-jerking dialogue mixed in as well.
