Twitter userpl_evilhas helpfully translated a recent letter to shareholders from Bloober Team, showing that their new game “Project C” will be revealed later this year. This will be the studio’s next original game, after they wrapped upLayers Of Fearlast year with, confusingly, Layers Of Fear (the natural progression for a series: Layers Of Fear, Layers Of Fear 2, and then Layers Of Fear again, although it was going to be called Layers Of Fears at one point).
Bloober Team are your favourite developers that broke big after 2014’sP.T.never manifested into a full game, and Bloober Team did one instead. I’m being facetious, but Bloober team didn’t establish themselves as ahorrordev to watch until their P.T.-but-art-metaphor-mansion Layers Of Fear in 2016. I have enjoyed many of their games since, and their original IP is often something to do with seeing reality weirdly or a bit wrong - Observer was a cyberpunk horror where you could jack in to the degrading memories of dead people and in The Medium you could look at the living world and the dead world at the same time. Apart from that the vibes of their games are quite different, so something new again would be cool.
Their rearview mirror for other people’s IP is 2019’sBlair Witch, which wasn’t everyone’s favourite, but they’ve talked about their approach to remakingSilent Hill 2as being “faithful to the original title”. Unless they pull a Hades with Project C’s reveal this year, Silent Hill 2 will be the next Bloober Team game to come out, while Project R is due to be revealed next year.
