Acclaimed narrative adventure Road 96 is getting a musical prequel

Road 96, the acclaimed narrative adventure from developer Digixart, is getting a prequel, and it’s coming to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC on 4th April.

As a quick refresher, the original Road 96 served up procedural road trip adventure – set during a long, hot summer in the mid-90s – in which players hitchhiked across the ever-changing authoritarian nation of Petria in an attempt to reach the border and start a new life. We liked it a lot at Eurogamer, awarding it a Recommended badge.

Its newly announced prequel, officially titled Road 96: Mile 0, rewinds the clock just a little bit further to tell a tale set just prior to the events of the first game. This time, players can explore White Sands, described as Petria’s only luxurious community, switching between protagonists Zoe and Kaito – two teenagers from significantly different backgrounds.
