“Layers of Fears” Announced, Trailer Features Look at New Story Chapte, Updated Graphics and More

Layers of Fears

Bloober Team has been a defining force behind horror games in recent years. With titles like Blair Witch Project and the Layers of Fear series, it has exposed players to psychological horror experiences that few can forget. Now, it has unveiled its newest title, Layers of Fears, which is what the studio calls a “psychological horror chronicle.”

The existence of Layers of Fears was teased last year, and now fans have gotten a look at the game’s gorgeous visuals thanks to the industry-changing power of Unreal Engine 5. Using the power of next-gen console hardware, Layers of Fears aims to build on the bones of the previous games in the series to create something unlike anything fans have seen before. The developers say that it will be a mature narrative that spans multiple generations with plot lines that will impact the story of the entire franchise.

In a press release accompanying the game’s official trailer, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno said this about the game:

“We are bringing back a franchise that is really special for us, in a new form that will give players a truly fresh gaming experience and that will shed new light on the overall story. Our plan was to recreate the games, but we didn’t want to make it a simple collection of two remastered games. We’ve worked out a new approach, something that is maybe not yet obvious. But I can tell you there’s a reason why we called it Layers of Fears.”

Layers of Fears is set to release in 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
