Cthulhu
Cthulhu is rising up once again with the reveal of the upcoming title The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu that we just had
It is still the season of all of the Lovecraft style games out there, as we have the reveal for The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu. The next title that Nacon had to show off during their little stream with ACE Team behind it all to give us another twist on the setting. This time, though, it is not going to be a solo adventure out there into the madness of the Cthulhu mythology. We are getting to bring along three friends with us as we all devolve and try to survive all of the horror on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when it comes to us later in 2025. That just means we will also need to watch out for their descents too and maybe an unexpected attack from the safety of having any kind of friends out there in the world…
So, beyond being inspired and digging into the Cthulhu mythology out there, what is The Mound? Well, it is a four-player co-op title where we are a group of explorers set out to find some kind of treasure. This treasure happens to be in a cursed jungle, so not only do we have the normal concerns of a jungle but also all of the darker things that humans are weak against. It also looks like The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu is taking place in an older setting of the world with our explorers using some older firearms and gear to do all of this exploring. This is where player communication will start to play a factor in the game since it will be tough to do some of the tasks without technology. That and the fact that as the madness creeps in, we will start to have hallucinations in the game that could lead to us hunting down and shooting our own team by accident. A fun idea, but one that feels like it will have an easy workaround in the real world so players do not keep falling for it. Unless they choose to play the game how it was supposed to be played.
The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu — Reveal
In up to four-player co-op, form a group of explorers searching for treasure. In this cursed jungle, danger is everywhere, and monstrous creatures alter reality. Stay clear-headed and tame the jungle before it devours you…The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu will be coming in 2025 to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
An Expedition Into The Unknown
Join a team of explorers in search of treasure. Aboard your galleon, prepare for each mission by selecting weapons and equipment before setting off for adventure in the cursed jungle. The further you make progress, the greater the danger you’ll face before you make it to the gates of a legendary underground world where unimaginable riches await.
Lovecraftian Horror & Altered Reality
The Mound is inspired by the stories of H.P. Lovecraft with their oppressive and unpredictable atmospheres. Here, the supernatural forces don’t just hunt you down: they distort your perception of every situation to throw you off balance. Faced with diabolical creatures and unexplained phenomena, the border that separates reality from illusion blurs, sowing doubt and paranoia among your group.
Cooperation Put To The Test
In The Mound, survival depends on communication and helping each other. But as madness sets in, hallucinations intensify. Can you still trust your perception, and do you really have time to assess the situation? One poor decision, one misplaced shot, and the mission could turn into a disaster.
A Cursed Jungle Brimming With Treasure
Each expedition takes you deeper into a dense jungle where more dangers lurk and madness threatens to overwhelm you. Stay clear-headed, complete your objectives, and return to your galleon before it’s too late.
Are you interested in seeing more of the Cthulhu darkness out there in the gaming space again or is it going to need to take a break here so we can all recover? Will we get many of the experiences where all players turn on each other or will that be handled well with the basic communication skills humans should have? How dangerous will some of the creatures in the world be or will they only be as bad as our minds make them out to be? Lose your mind down in the comment section and then feel free to discuss it all as you so wish to do. There is more to come for The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu, for sure, so please keep on checking in here for all of those updates and the many others that are still in the works out there. We will try not to lose our minds over it all and keep our wits about us so you can keep as updated as ever.
