In the Bandai Namco E3 2021 showcase, there was only one game that was featured and it is the next game in the Dark Pictures Anthology. The studio behind the game, Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes talks about the upcoming game, the story, and what players can expect in the game.
The dev team working at Supermassive Games talked about how the third installment in the series comes with a new story.
Check out the dev video below:
While the game was already announced earlier, hearing from the dev team puts another perspective on the game and what the players will get to experience. The series is known for its interactivity with main characters to build up the story, and the usual jump scares that come out of nowhere.
The executive producer of the game, Dan McDonald talked about House of Ashes and the completely new setting for the game, including 60 different death animations that players will get to see over the course of the story. However, that would depend on the story path each player goes for by making choices as the story progresses.
So from the previous reveals we know that the game is a completely new story, especially if you compare it to previous games in the series Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope and Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan. You will be a part of a special military group that is tasked in exploring an abandoned temple in the Arabian desert, right in the middle of the Iraq War. What awaits you in this old sinister temple is where the story begins, revealing the dark horrors that want the group trapped inside forever.
Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is going to release this year on 22nd October on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. While the release date is quite far away, you can try out Little Hope and Man of Medan to get a taste of what it is like to play the Dark Pictures Anthology.
