Gamescom 2021’s Opening Night Live saw the release of a brand new trailer for The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes, the next horror game from Supermassive Games. The trailer has revealed a new in-universe website, reminiscent of an ARG, that allows players to dig through files to uncover more about the next game in the Dark Pictures Anthology series.

Just like previous The Dark Pictures Anthology games, Man of Medan and Little Hope, House of Ashes will be a standalone title that won’t require knowledge of other games in the collection. The games follow a similar formula to 2015’s teen slasher hit Until Dawn as cinematic branching horror titles in which players need to make decisions in order to save their friends and companions. House of Ashes’ story takes place towards the end of the Iraq War, when Special Forces hunting for weapons of mass destruction accidentally unearth a monstrous force. A post-credit scene of 2020’s Little Hope revealed The Dark Pictures: House of Ashes for the first time.

As spotted by Eurogamer, the new Bandai Namco House of Ashes trailer briefly shows a website URL on a small piece of paper at around the 01:25 mark. It’s easily missed, but heading to the website grants access to the Caelus Files, with a full-screen takeover giving fans the chance to sift through a fictional desktop belonging to a member of the US military. Searching through the files reveals various images and lore about the game, with 5,000 website clicks needed to access a locked file on the desktop. At the time of writing, the goal is still quite far away, though fans should keep checking back for its availability.

The new Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes trailer teases one of the series’ most tense adventures yet, as players don’t only have a monster to contend with. Characters revealed in the trailer have been fighting on opposing sides of the war, and it seems as though the forging of alliances is imperative if players want to survive the game and keep everyone alive. Dialogue choices shown in the trailer reveal that players can turn the tide when it comes to bringing the group together, accusing members of the party or choosing a more casual approach. The trailer also shows off what looks to be the series’ most visually stunning game to date, highlighting the claustrophobic spaces of the Sumerian temple, as well as impressively detailed character models.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes could be the perfect cooperative adventure for the Halloween season thanks to its late October release. The Dark Pictures’ multiplayer modes will be returning for the new addition to the series, and will allow players to share their stories online with a friend. Alternatively, pass-the-pad offline couch co-op will be available for up to five players. While fans may have been spoiled with a detailed figure of the game’s hidden monster shown in the collector’s edition at the end of the trailer, players still have the House of Ashes story experience to look forward to.
