Bandai Namco just released the latest in the Supermassive Games' developed horror series, The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes. The game was released today alongside a new trailer for the game in case you were still left in the dark about what to expect in this latest entry.
House of Ashes takes place in Iraq around 2003. Special Forces are looking for weapons of mass destruction in and around the Zagros mountains. Of course, things go a little awry when they're attacked and a tremor pulls both sides into the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple. Trapped below the surface, the groups must try to navigate their way through the environment to try to escape their new hell. Oh yeah, and there's a new ancient evil that has awakened and is hunting everyone! Good luck with that.
Just like the previous two titles in the series, Man of Medan and Little Hope, this game can be played on your own or in co-op.
The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of stand-alone, branching cinematic horror games designed to present a new terrifying experience on a regular basis. Each game will feature a brand-new story, setting, and new cast of characters. Experience moments of tension and terror alone in single player mode, with your friends through two player online shared story, or with up to five players in the couch-friendly movie night mode. The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the third game in the The Dark Pictures Anthology series which features stand-alone, cinematic branching horror games where the decisions players make determine the story they experience.
