Four Player Lovecraftian Co-Op Action Game ‘The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu’ Announced [Trailer]
Much like Big Bad Wolf Studio, ACE Team is taking their turn on Lovecraft with The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu, a first-person 4 players co-op psychological horror title. The game is currently in development for launch later this year for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
Inspired by Lovecraft’s eponymous novella, “The Mound“, Omen of Cthulhu casts players as a squad of conquistadors on an expedition to discover a legendary underground city rumored to hold priceless treasures. However, deep within an eerie and oppressive jungle, players must explore and survive monstrous, otherworldly entities that distort their senses and threaten their sanity as well as their lives.
Aboard your galleon, you and your team will prepare for each mission by selecting weapons and equipment before setting off for your mission. The further you make progress, the greater the danger you’ll face before you make it to the gates of a legendary underground world where unimaginable riches await.
As you might expect from that description, paranoia and deception play a big part in The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu. However, your survival depends on communication and helping each other. But as madness sets in, can you still trust what you see, and more importantly, can you trust your squadmate?
Each expedition takes you deeper into the jungle where the dangers increase, and madness threatens to overwhelm you. You’ve got to stay clear-headed, complete your objectives and make it back to your galleon before it’s too late.

‘Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered’ Announced for Consoles and Steam [Trailer]
Atari is reaching back for fans of the classic GameCube and Xbox fighter Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee with a remastered edition that’s coming November 3 to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch 2. The PS5 and Switch 2 will also be receiving physical versions that you can pre-order now.
“There is a real sense of responsibility that comes with working on Godzilla, especially with a fan-favorite title like Destroy All Monsters Melee,” explains Atari chief creative officer Mike Mika. “It is only natural that Atari, as the original publisher in 2002, would partner with Pipeworks, the original developer and kaiju experts to bring their creation back to center stage—bigger, better and more destructive than ever.”
The ultimate kaiju arena brawler is back, completely remastered. From Atari and original developer, Pipeworks, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered updates the 2002 fighter with enhanced visuals and quality of life improvements. Choose from one of twelve monsters, and battle it out with a range of brutal attacks through 8 locations, each with day and night variations. Battle through real-world cities, Monster Island, and the alien Mothership. Face off against your friends in local co-op or new online multiplayer.
Along with the updated visuals, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered also features gameplay updates, as well as an improved unlock system, so you can unlock monsters, locations, and gallery items in any order you choose.
