Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest has been full of announcements, from the revelation of the Street Fighter 6 character to a look at the gameplay of The Callisto Protocol. Bloober Team presented its own presentation, which was a renewal of its psychological horror cult series Layers of Fear, a collaboration with Aspyr Media that will be released on PS5, Xbox Series and PC consoles in early 2023 .
Layers of Fears is not a new game per se. There have already been three, and the last one will land in 2019. This Layers of Fear, as described in the YouTube trailer, will be based “on the basics of Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear: Inheritance and Layers of Fear 2 “. with an amazing new story and gameplay direction. “
The two-minute trailer is quite disturbing. There is someone who has been locked in a house for who knows how long, strange events in blinding white rooms and shadows cast on doors. Layers of Fears is a story of fear and hatred of the horror of loneliness, and the voice-over seems to really underscore it.
Also according to the description, Layers of Fears uses Unreal Engine 5, meaning it will take advantage of new innovations such as ray tracing, HDR effects, 4K resolution and the Lumen system to “deliver the most immersive and visceral horror experience “. This seems exact based on the creepy trailer.
Unfortunately, Layers of Fears is not what Silent Hill project fans expected it to be. There were rumors that Bloober Team may have been working on Konami’s acclaimed horror franchise, but it looks like we can finally put an end to this speculation. Or rather, we can put a lid on the idea that Bloober Team is behind it, as people are still convinced that Silent Hill will return somehow.
