Bloober Team and Anshar Studios’ Layers of Fear title reimagines the 2016 and 2019 including their respective DLCs as a graphically-updated, seamless experience. The new Layers of Fear also features an original DLC chapter titled “The Final Note,” which provides an alternate retelling of the original game’s story through the eyes of the Painter’s Wife. Additionally, an original Lighthouse chapter following a new “Writer” character bridges the storylines of the two original games.
From the developers:
The series, which has left a mark on narrative-driven first-person psychological horror games, returns to tell its final spine-chilling story in Layers of Fear.. The series’ crowning work is the definitive way to experience the critically acclaimed franchise as it features Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, as well as all DLCs (including the new ‘The Final Note’ DLC that will give you a new perspective on the Layers of Fear storyline) and the never-before-told story of The Writer, which will tie everything together. Built on Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear supports Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution to make the stunning visuals, and your nightmarish experience, as immersive and realistic as possible.
Layers of Fear will release June 15, 2023, on PC (through Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The playable Steam demo as well as an official commentary walkthrough from the developers can be found here.
