Today (October 24, 2025), Kepler Interactive has launched the first major expansion for “Pacific Drive” (PC / PS5) titled “Pacific Drive: Whispers in the Woods.”
In conjunction with this release, both the base game and “Whispers in the Woods” are now available on Xbox Series X|S. Additionally, a bundle edition called “Ritual Edition”, which includes the base game, “Whispers in the Woods,” and four cosmetic packs for customizing your companion station wagon, is now available across all platforms.
“Pacific Drive” is a driving survival game set in the forested regions of the Pacific Northwest, USA—now restricted due to paranormal phenomena. Players explore this hazardous zone in their beloved vehicle, upgrading it with resources gathered along the way while pushing forward into new areas.
In “Whispers in the Woods,” players will experience an entirely new story unfolding within a mysterious and strange area hidden deep inside the Olympic Isolation Zone’s forests. Discovering new junction types, paranormal phenomena, and previously unseen behavior patterns of these anomalies, you’ll journey through this enigmatic zone to uncover artifacts imbued with unknown power.
