Welcome to the Olympic Exclusion Zone!
Deep within the Pacific Northwest lies a quarantined region where surreal dangers await, shrouded in mysteries that perhaps should have remained undiscovered.
Pacific Drive offers players a first-person driving survival adventure where your car becomes your sole companion. The key to navigating this unpredictable and hostile environment lies in keeping your trusty wood-paneled wagon operational. Each venture into the wilderness presents unique challenges, allowing players to restore and upgrade their vehicle from an abandoned garage that serves as a home base. As you gather resources, craft blueprints, and investigate remnants of the past, you’ll unravel a long-forgotten mystery while striving to survive.

What to Expect in Whispers in the Woods
The Whispers in the Woods expansion unveils a new chapter in the Zone’s narrative, introducing players to an Anomaly-obsessed cult hidden within the forests. This expansion enriches the gameplay experience with:
- A new narrative arc that intertwines with the main campaign.
- New Anomalies and environmental twists that challenge your understanding of the Zone.
- Artifacts — mysterious objects that can yield unpredictable effects, requiring players to adapt their strategies on the fly.
- A newly explorable map featuring a forest region that is approximately one-third the size of the base world, offering hours of additional content for both newcomers and seasoned players.
This expansion represents the most ambitious update to date, and the team is excited for Xbox players to experience it simultaneously with everyone else.
