Nacon and ACE Team have unveiled The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, a cooperative horror game inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s unsettling tales. Set to launch in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC (Steam), the game blends survival, psychological horror, and teamwork in a cursed jungle where reality itself is unstable.

A descent into the unknown
In The Mound, up to four players take on the role of explorers searching for treasure hidden deep within an uncharted jungle. Before each mission, players prepare aboard their galleon, choosing weapons and equipment carefully. The deeper they venture, the greater the horrors they’ll encounter. Twisted creatures and supernatural forces alter perception, turning every step into a test of sanity.
The Mound doesn’t just rely on terrifying monsters—it distorts reality itself. As players progress, they’ll face hallucinations, illusions, and psychological torment, making it harder to distinguish friend from foe. Paranoia becomes a real threat as the line between reality and madness blurs.
Survival depends on trust
Communication and teamwork are essential, but as madness seeps in, even trusted allies may not see the same horrors. Hallucinations can lead to mistakes—one wrong move, one misjudged shot, and the entire expedition could collapse into chaos. The game constantly tests whether players can rely on their own senses or each other.
A jungle filled with danger and riches
The deeper the expedition, the more the jungle tightens its grip. Players must navigate treacherous terrain, uncover lost secrets, and survive encounters with creatures beyond human understanding. The objective? Retrieve legendary treasures and escape before the jungle consumes them.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu promises an intense blend of exploration, horror, and psychological tension. With its unpredictable threats and shifting perception mechanics, it aims to challenge even the most seasoned co-op players. Expect more details as we get closer to its 2025 release.
