The Dark Pictures Anthology series has forced players to survive a cursed ship in the middle of the ocean and explore a mysterious town steeped in the occult. Now, in House of Ashes, the series is dropping players into the ruins of a buried temple, and something terrifying is lurking in the dark.
An eight-minute-long gameplay trailer for the newest Dark Pictures Anthology game can be seen down below. It heavily focuses on the traditional split-screen gameplay players have come to know from the franchise.
From what can be seen in the trailer, the next title feels like The Descent mixed with a little Tomb Raider. Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes focuses on four American soldiers after a helicopter crash:
[It’s] 2003, in the shadow of the Zagros mountains in Iraq where a military unit is caught within the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple. Something ancient and evil has awakened in the shadows and has found a new prey to hunt.

As of this writing, Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes does not have an official release date, but it is slated for release later this year. The interactive horror experiences will be available on PC,
