For those with a very particular interest in turn-based strategy games on consoles, specifically those with 'Songs Of' in their titles, there's exciting news. Two such games, Songs of Silence and Songs of Conquest, have both announced their arrival on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S next month. What's even more intriguing is that they will be released just a day apart from each other. Songs of Conquest is set to debut on November 12, followed by Songs of Silence on November 13.
This peculiar coincidence was highlighted by Lost in Cult's marketing director, Ryan T. Brown, who noted the strange serendipity. The Songs of Conquest social media account took this positively, tagging its counterpart, Songs of Silence, and expressing enthusiasm about how November could be a great month for both games. In response, the Songs of Silence account shared a fitting meme, maintaining the positive atmosphere.
While it's not uncommon for games to have coincidental encounters—like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3, or Overwatch and Battleborn—it's rare for similar games to have such close release dates and announcements, especially with titles that are so alike. Another example is The Outer Worlds and The Outer Wilds, which often confused people due to their similar names and release in the same year.
It's important to note that while these two games share some similarities, they each bring their own unique elements to the turn-based strategy genre. Songs of Silence is a visually appealing 4X strategy game designed to make battles feel more dynamic, whereas Songs of Conquest draws inspiration from '90s games and will appeal to those who enjoy managing their kingdoms and resources.
