The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu has officially confirmed its release for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in summer 2026, following its debut at the Xbox Partner Preview. The announcement refines earlier expectations, solidifying the game’s arrival window after its initial reveal during the March Nacon Connect.
Developed by ACE Team and published by Nacon, the game is a first-person, four-player horror co-op experience deeply inspired by the surreal dread and cosmic terror of H.P. Lovecraft’s lore. Set in a dense, otherworldly jungle that warps reality and sanity, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu plunges players into a psychological horror nightmare where trust is as fragile as reality itself.
The official description emphasizes the game’s focus on atmosphere and paranoia:
“The Mound is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s tales, with their suffocating and unpredictable atmospheres. Here, supernatural forces don’t merely hunt you—they twist your perception of reality, disorienting you at every turn. Confronted by monstrous entities and inexplicable phenomena, the line between truth and illusion dissolves, fueling doubt and paranoia among your group.”
Players are equipped with weapons and survival tools to navigate the treacherous jungle and face eldritch horrors, but the real threat may not come from the monsters—it could come from within the group. As the environment distorts and illusions take hold, alliances crumble, and players may find themselves questioning whether their allies are truly human… or something far worse.
With its hauntingly immersive design, psychological horror mechanics, and emphasis on cooperative tension, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu promises to deliver a chilling, unforgettable journey into the unknown—set to unfold next summer across all major platforms.
