Open Roads is an upcoming interactive movie mystery-thriller video game published by Annapurna Interactive.[1][2] The game is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on February 22, 2024.[3] It was initially announced at The Game Awards on December 10, 2020.[4]

It stars Keri Russell and Kaitlyn Dever in the leading voice roles.[5]

Gameplay

"Open Roads utilizes a unique and engaging interactive dialogue system that moves the narrative along, exposing character flaws, secrets, and buried truths".[6]

Premise

Single mother Opal (Keri Russell) and her 16-year old daughter Tess (Kaitlyn Dever) embark on a road trip where they learn more than they bargained for.[7]

Development

The development of Open Roads originally began under the umbrella of Fullbright; however, in August 2021, Polygon published a report about founder Steve Gaynor's alleged toxic behavior causing team members to leave.[8] In a Fullbright newsletter sent in May 2023, Gaynor announced that he was no longer working on Open Roads, and development will be credited to The Open Roads Team at launch, while Gaynor will retain the Fullbright name for his own projects.[9][10]
