The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu has officially confirmed its summer 2026 release window across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, following its debut at the Xbox Partner Preview. The announcement builds on earlier tease from Nacon and developer ACE Team, who first introduced the game during the March 2025 Nacon Connect event.
As a first-person horror co-op experience, the game plunges four players into a dense, otherworldly jungle where reality itself begins to unravel. Rooted in the cosmic dread of H.P. Lovecraft’s legacy, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu emphasizes psychological horror, where supernatural forces don’t just stalk players—they warp perception, fuel paranoia, and turn allies into enemies.
The gameplay trailer showcases tense cooperation under mounting pressure: players must scavenge for tools, wield primitive and makeshift weapons, and navigate shifting environments that defy logic. As the line between nightmare and truth blurs, trust fractures. The jungle isn't just a setting—it's a living, breathing entity that feeds on fear and doubt.
“Here, supernatural forces don’t merely hunt you—they twist your perception of reality, disorienting you at every turn,” reads the official description. “Confronted by monstrous entities and inexplicable phenomena, the line between truth and illusion dissolves, fueling doubt and paranoia among your group.”
With a haunting atmosphere, immersive sound design, and a narrative steeped in existential dread, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu promises to deliver one of the most psychologically intense horror experiences in years—perfect for fans of Alien: Isolation, Resident Evil 7, and SOMA.
Mark your calendars: next summer, when the jungle calls, not everyone will make it out.
