Originally teased last year, Bloober Team and co-developer Anshar Studios have unveiled their latest entry in the Layers of Fear series, titled Layers of Fears.
The announcement was made during this Thursday's Summer Game Fest with a new trailer.
Layers of Fears is described as "a psychological horror chronicle built upon the foundations of the original Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear: Inheritance, and Layers of Fear 2."
The psychedelic experience fans know and love will include an expanded plotline and gameplay direction all created in Unreal Engine 5.
Piotr Babieno, Bloober Team’s CEO, provides a peek behind the curtain to offer some insight on their choice of name:
"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."
The game will be launching simultaneously on PC (on Steam and Epic Game Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in early 2023.
Check out the official reveal trailer below, featuring a closer look at the updated graphics, gameplay, and the setting for the new story chapter.
