From the acclaimed developer The Chinese Room comes Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest, a paid story expansion for Still Wakes the Deep, winner of three BAFTA Games Awards. Published by award-winning indie publisher Secret Mode, Siren’s Rest will launch on 18 June on Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and PlayStation®5 (PS5™), for $12.99/£9.99/€12.99.

Set over a decade after the events of Still Wakes the Deep, players will sink below the waves of the North Sea to explore what’s left of the Beira D. Swim through the underwater wreckage armed with a cutting torch, crowbar, and camera, and try to piece together the final moments of the oil rig’s crew. But beware - there are things lurking in the depths that even the sea cannot claim.

Siren’s Rest features a new story written by Sagar Beroshi (Helldivers 2) and introduces a new voice cast. Lois Chimimba (Doctor Who, Shetland) stars as Mhairi alongside Lorn Macdonald (Bridgerton, The Lazarus Project) and David Menkin (Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2), and the cast are once more directed by Kate Saxon.


About Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest
1986. The Beira D is now a groaning steel catacomb interred in the inky depths of the North Sea. What really happened that December day in 1975, when communications to the mainland were severed and the rig sank without a trace? What answers can be given to families who still grieve, ten years on?


You are Mhairi. And you will find those answers. As the leader of a saturation dive to the wreck of the Beira D, you descend, a fragile light in the crushing dark. Your mission: uncover the fate of the crew and recover what remains of their passing.


Still Wakes the Deep: Siren’s Rest launches on 18 June for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5 for $12.99/£9.99/€12.99, with a 15% launch discount available on Steam.
