Bloober Workforce is again with one more spine-tingling coach for the upcoming psychological horror sport, Layers of Fears. The sport was first introduced again in June, however we all know much more about what to anticipate when it releases in early 2023.
Bloober Workforce are definitely no stranger to the style, having already developed The Medium and Blair Witch, and this time round, the staff is creating the Layers of Worry sequel alongside Anshar Studios.
Layers of Fears isn’t a direct sequel to 2016’s Layers of Worry and even 2019’s Layers of Worry 2. As an alternative, the brand new sport will probably be remastering the 2 titles and DLC to mix them right into a single, scary reimagination of the collection with new, extra plot traces and Unreal Engine 5 expertise.
The brand-new trailer proven off at Gamescom could be watched above, and whereas it definitely units the scene and environment, we do not get any extra perception into how the 2 predecessing video games may very well be intertwined. That stated, the psychedelic visuals and cinematic scoring that we’re used to from these video games is there, and so they’re stronger than ever in UE5.
Beforehand, Bloober Workforce CEO Piotr Babieno shared in a press launch that “Our plan was to recreate the video games, however we didn’t need to make it a easy assortment of two remastered video games. We’ve labored out a brand new strategy, one thing that’s possibly not but apparent. However I can let you know there’s a motive why we referred to as it Layers of Fears.”
So, it would not seem as if Layers of Fears will include a straight-up remaster of the unique video games. The trailer does additionally give us our first glimpse at ‘The Remaining Word’, which is to be Layers of Fears “new story chapter” that allow’s us tackle the function of The Painter’s Spouse from the unique Layers of Worry sport.
All in all, it seems as if this reimagining of the collection seems to spherical up one of the best elements of the video games and evolve them into one thing larger, higher, and with new mild shed on the overarching story of those video games.
Frankly, I am fairly excited to see what Bloober Workforce have carried out with Layers of Fears, particularly contemplating that the rumours surrounding a Silent Hill sport from the staff have been swept beneath the rug. What do you consider this upcoming horror expertise?
