It was already a pretty fair assumption to make, but Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games have now confirmed that The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes will indeed be launching on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 at some point next year. This follows a teaser trailer revealed after the credits of last month's pretty good Little Hope.
We've also got some initial story details by way of a press release. "Iraq, 2003. As the conflict draws to a close, CIA field operative Rachel King joins an elite military unit on a raid of a suspected underground chemical weapons facility in the shadow of the Zagros Mountains. Arriving at the coordinates, the unit is ambushed by a local patrol led by Sergeant Salim Othman. During the battle, an earthquake opens sinkholes in the ground, pitching both sides into the ruins of a buried Sumerian temple. In the darkness beneath the Arabian Desert, something evil is awakened. Savage and unstoppable, a nest of ancient and unearthly creatures has a new prey to hunt."
The announcement trailer also confirms that Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical fame will be a part of the cast. Did you enjoy Little Hope and are looking forward to the third instalment in The Dark Pictures Anthology? Get spooky in the comments below.

I love this series and most of Supermassive's output on PS4. Day one purchase.
Glad this won't be another "gang of teenagers" scenario, as much as I enjoyed the other games. Looking forward to this!
Iraq 2003 and chemical weapons? Now this really is fantasy!
I love this whole Dark Pictures Anthology concept! I really can't wait to play Little Hope - it's on my Christmas list. This looks to be a nice change from the teen group cliché.
I enjoyed Man of Medan - I just wish I hadn't already known the twist going into the game (found out by accident) as there were quick-time events that could have played out a lot differently.
@nessisonett maybe the temple has that yellow cake
@GamingFan4Lyf To be fair, the game shows you the twist at the very beginning of the game. I mean, the close up on that obviously ominous chemical gas was a dead giveaway.
I hope this one bucks the trend of the first two games in terms of twists. Both were weak imo and it also needs the threat to be real. Man of medan was nearly a scooby doo episode and if you played Little Hope you know the twist was a OMG moment but when you think about it it makes absolutely no sense.
Still Supermassive are improving each time, love the curator and the intro song is awesome. Heres hoping for some good scares
The statue of the demon shown at 33 seconds was ver reminiscent of the one from the beginning of the exorcist!
Color me intrigued 👍
