In House of Ashes, at the close of the Iraq War, Special Forces hunting for weapons of mass destruction unearth something far deadlier – a buried Sumerian temple containing a nest of unearthly creatures. To survive the night below, they must forge a brotherhood with their enemies from the world above. Navigate the underworld and escape a terrifying threat Fight your way out of a buried sumerian temple against hordes of deadly monsters that have claimed you as prey. The enemy of your enemy is your friend This time, your crew is composed of 2 opposing factions that rarely see eye to eye. Can you put aside your character's rivalries to fight together as one ? Don't play alone The two critically acclaimed multiplayer modes are back. Share your story online with a friend or aim for safety in numbers through the offline 5-player pass-the-pad mode. The Curator's cut features new scenes playable from the other characters' perspective with brand new choices and decisions to make.
