ACE Team, the developers behind Zeno Clash and Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, are diving into first-person horror with their newly announced title, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. Set for release in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game blends survival horror with online co-op for up to four players.
A Descent Into Madness
Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s novella The Mound, the game follows a group of Spanish conquistadors exploring a legendary underground city rumored to contain untold riches. But what starts as a treasure hunt soon turns into a nightmarish struggle for survival against otherworldly horrors lurking in the jungle.
As players delve deeper, their senses begin to betray them—was that shadow a hallucination, or is something truly there? Can you trust your allies, or has madness taken hold?
- First-Person Co-Op Horror: Work together with up to three other players to survive.
- Psychological Terror: Encounter hallucinations, shifting environments, and sanity-bending horror.
- A Living Nightmare: The jungle is alive with cosmic horrors, distorting reality itself.
- Historical Horror Setting: Experience a Lovecraftian horror story through the eyes of 16th-century explorers.
ACE Team’s Bold Genre Shift
Known for their surreal, experimental games, ACE Team is taking a new creative leap by blending Lovecraftian horror with cooperative survival gameplay. While the studio is famous for its bizarre and unique worlds, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu looks to deliver a darker, more psychologically intense experience than ever before.
Prepare to Lose Your Mind in 2025
With The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, ACE Team is crafting a Lovecraftian nightmare where perception itself is unreliable. Expect paranoia, psychological dread, and cooperative survival mechanics when the game launches in 2025.
