Dark Pictures Anthology: House Of Ashes Trailer And October Date Drops

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes and release date has dropped at the Summer Game Fest kick-off show.

House of Ashes is the third standalone chapter in The Dark Pictures Anthology following Man of Medan and Little Hope.

In House of Ashes:

“Iraq, 2003. In the shadow of the Zagros mountains a military unit comes under fire from Iraqi forces. The resulting firefight causes an earth tremor where both sides fall into the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple.

“With all communication severed, our protagonists are trapped in a terrifying underworld they must navigate to escape – unaware that something ancient and evil has awakened in the shadows and has found a new prey to hunt.

Deep underground, something evil has awakened.

Descend into the underworld in The Dark Pictures Anthology: #HouseOfAshes, coming to PS4/PS5, Xbox One & Series X|S and PC on 22 October 2021.

“Horrific discoveries and impossible decisions now face the survivors as they strive to escape the terrifying threat they awakened. Will they each prioritize their own survival, or put aside their fears and personal rivalries to fight together as one against these underworld monsters?”

House of Ashes can be played solo or with up to five players in a “couch-friendly movie night mode.”

As with previous instalments of The Dark Pictures Anthology, the choices that you make sure have a big impact on the in-game characters and the story.
