A website from horror game purveyors Bloober Team with a bizarre url surfaced near the end of 2025: remosdneulserorehsoovamceyerd.com. The page had an image of a bloody rose, a countdown to Valentine's Day, and a cryptic quote. Bloober had been awfully busy up to that point, fresh off Cronos: The New Dawn and still working on another Silent Hill remake, so it was hard to guess at exactly what this might be. Well, now we know: Layers of F3ar... Read more.

Twitter user pl_evil has 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 up Layers Of Fear last 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 currently doing a lot of IP work for other people, with the Silent Hill 2 remake due out later this year, and a gam

The latest chapter in Layers of Fear awaits. What is the Final Prologue? Is it a stand-alone story, or another piece of the puzzle that makes up the complete story of Layers of Fear? The answer lies in the game itself, but does its name reveal part of the secret? Take a peek behind the scenes of the latest chapter of our game and watch the interview with Dawid Kocurek, creative director of Anshar Studios (co-developers of Layers of Fear), to find out more. The Final Prologue is now available for free, playable as a separate chapter in Layers of Fear. Step into the Director’s seat as you seek t

Artsy horror series Layers of Fear might have called it a wrap with this year's game, but it turns out there's one more treat in this bag of tricks: a new free DLC chapter. 'The Final Prologue' delivers yet another tale of artistic temperament gone all creepy and wrong, this time in the medium of film direction. The unexpected epilogue is part of a double celebration; it's nearly Halloween, obviously, but it's also there to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the founding of creator studio Bloober Team on November 6th. For the uninitiated, the new Layers of Fear shares its title with the 2016

When the Layers of Fear remake was first announced, I didn't understand the need for it. Whilst the original game is seven years old now, it still looks great and it's still as scary as ever—so why bother? Especially when developer and publisher Bloober Team is already hard at work on Silent Hill 2, a rather more hotly anticipated remake. After playing through it, though, I get it. I understand why the developers felt they had to remake this, and why they felt it was important to do it now more than ever... Read more.

Layers of Fear (2023) brings together the stories of Layers of Fear (2016) and Layers of Fear 2 (2019), remastering the two horror titles in Unreal Engine 5 to deliver a seamless, puzzling trip into the psyche of creatives-gone-mad. Sadly, this remake represents the best and worst of Bloober Team. This time around you’ll start out as The Writer, a new character destined to pen the disturbing tales of The Artist and The Actor, while encountering your own unusual goings-on in the Lighthouse you’re holed up in. After having won a competition to write a book about ‘one of the most mysterious and t

The upcoming Layers of Fear remake is set to be the first third-party game to use Unreal Engine 5. Epic's newest game development engine, and its cutting edge features like Lumen and Nanite, drove last year's lauded graphical overhaul of Fortnite. Now, horror fans will be pleased to hear that Layers of Fear will enjoy these same niceties. Read the rest of the story...
