Dark Mass emerges from the depths – an underwater horror adventure announced for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox

Survive the abyss and uncover the horrors lurking in a forgotten sunken manor

Madrid, Spain – March 21, 2025 – Path Games has announced Dark Mass, a first-person psychological horror game set entirely underwater, coming soon to PC (Steam), PlayStation, and Xbox.

To coincide with the announcement, a new trailer has been released, offering a first glimpse at the mysteries and terrors awaiting in the sunken manor.

A haunted past buried beneath the waves

In Dark Mass, players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath it lies something far more sinister—a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the abyss.

As Alice ventures inside, she soon realizes she is not alone. Something watches from the darkness. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, she must unravel the mysteries of its past, solve dark ritualistic puzzles, and face the horrifying truth that binds her to this place.

With fully voiced dialogue, immersive underwater physics, and a haunting narrative, Dark Mass promises a terrifying descent into the unknown, where every choice matters and survival is anything but guaranteed.

Key Features

  • The first fully underwater horror experience – Explore a sunken manor, where movement is affected by the deep-sea environment, adding a unique layer of tension and immersion.
  • A narrative-driven psychological horror – Communicate with your brother Reed through a fully voiced walkie-talkie system as you uncover the chilling truth behind the manor’s curse.
  • Disturbing ritual puzzles – Solve unique challenges inspired by historical inquisitorial tortures, unlocking the manor’s darkest secrets.
  • A relentless presence stalks you – Evade Silas, a monstrous entity bound to the manor for centuries, waiting for its next victim.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC features and new No Return content detailed

The Last of Us Part II Remastered arrives on PC on April 4, and PlayStation Australia and Naughty Dog want to make sure players are prepared for the journey ahead. Whether it’s your first time experiencing Ellie and Abby’s acclaimed stories, or you’ve previously played and are excited to jump in via a new format, there are plenty of quality-of-life features and even new content in store.

PC features detailed

The PC version of The Last of Us Part II Remastered brings with it all the improvements and new features added in the PlayStation 5 version released in 2024, such as the roguelike survival mode No Return, Guitar Free Play, and hours of developer commentary.

In partnership with Naughty Dog, Nixxes Software and Iron Galaxy, Part II Remastered has been brought to PC with plenty of PC-centric quality-of-life features that further bring the snow-covered mountains of Jackson, Wyoming, and the rainswept streets of Seattle, Washington to beautiful life.

This version of The Last of Us Part II Remastered is optimised for PC with:

  • Nvidia DLSS 3 Super Resolution and Frame Generation support1
  • AMD FSR 3.1 and AMD FSR 4 support with upscaling and frame generation1
  • VSync and framerate cap options, including an uncapped framerate option2
  • DirectStorage support, and more. 

It has been developed with features designed specifically for PC, including:

  • Adjustable Texture Quality
  • LOD Distance Range
  • Volumetric Quality
  • Shadow Quality
  • Ambient Occlusion
  • Reflections Quality
  • and more

The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC will feature support for Ultrawide monitors3, so players will be able to take in the stunning vistas of Jackson and the harsh streets of Seattle with gameplay supported in 21:9 ultra-wide, 32:9 super ultra-wide and even 48:9 resolutions with compatibility for triple-monitor setups. 

Take in every chapter of Ellie and Abby’s journeys in stunning 4K resolution2 while playing either via various supported controllers as well as keyboard and mouse controls. Immerse yourself in the story with 3D audio surrounding you in every tense moment of action and each quiet scene of exploration.4

Keyboard and mouse control support includes a host of new control customisation options, like full control remapping, primary and secondary bindings for keyboard and mouse control, an adaptive mode that allows players to combine keyboard and controller inputs, and more. Part II Remastered on PC will feature full gamepad support, while DualSense controllers are supported and feature full haptic feedback.5

As the Naughty Dog team and partners have been hard at work on this version, a host of bug fixes and various improvements will also be introduced to offer as smooth a play experience as possible.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC offers a wide range of graphics settings and presets, to ensure the best possible experience on hardware ranging from high-end PCs to handheld gaming devices. Find below an overview of recommended specifications for a variety of graphics presets.

New No Return content

Additionally, coming at launch for The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC will be a host of new content for the fan-favourite No Return mode. Two new characters are being introduced for the mode – The Last of Us Part I’s Bill and Marlene. Like with each No Return combatant, these characters offer their own unique play styles, and should offer both new and returning fans an exciting new opportunity to test their mettle. Bill is a “Smuggler” playstyle who can access a custom pump shotgun from dead drops, and receives double rewards from drops as well. He’s stronger against melee attacks but can’t dodge. Marlene, meanwhile, features a “Risk Taker” playstyle that includes a Custom Assault Rifle, “All or Nothing” gambits, can reroute her No Return path once per run, and more.

Four new maps have also been added to No Return. Overlook, which is set high above the city of Seattle and features plenty of verticality, is the memorable site of a Seraphites encounter in the campaign. School is, during the campaign, the abandoned elementary school in which Ellie and Dina face off against the W.L.F. Streets is set in the overgrown Seattle neighbourhood of Hillcrest, while Nest will be familiar to players who have played as Abby through an Infected-infested building. The teams have been so overjoyed about the reaction to this mode since Part II Remastered debuted on PS5 last year, and hope these new maps further offer more variability and thrills as players tackle new runs.

Speaking of PlayStation 5 players, fear not – this new No Return content, as well as accompanying new Trophies and additional bug fixes – will be available day-and-date with the PC launch via a free downloadable 2.0.0 patch.6

PlayStation Network log-in bonuses

Last but not least, Part II Remastered on PC will support PlayStation overlay and PSN Trophies with an optional account for PlayStation Network log-in. 

While not required, those on PC who do sign in with their account for PlayStation Network will also gain access to 50 in-game points to activate bonus features, as well as a new skin for Ellie featuring Jordan A. Mun’s jacket from Naughty Dog’s new game in development for PS5, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

PS5 players will also be able to unlock the Jordan’s jacket skin, as it will be included in the 2.0 patch and unlockable via in-game bonus points.

PlayStation Australia and Naughty Dog can’t wait for PC players to experience this incredible journey, and for both PC and PS5 players to enjoy the new suite of content in just a few weeks. For now, The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC can be pre-purchased via Steam and the Epic Games Store ahead of the release on Friday 4 April.
