Silent Hill 2 Remake and Cronos: The New Daybreak developer Bloober Crew is engaged on numerous new initiatives, together with a Nintendo Change 2 model of its disorientating horror Layers of Worry, Layers of Worry: The Remaining Masterpiece Version, and numerous smaller video games from its subsidiary, Damaged Mirror Video games, which embrace a mysterious Change unique, codenamed Venture M.
We do not fairly know precisely when The Masterpiece Version will land — it is nonetheless labelled as coming in 2025 regardless of the very fact we’re operating down the clock of what is left of the 12 months — however as reported within the agency’s latest investor briefing, it is described as a “full version,” presumably bundling the bottom sport with subsequent content material and the refreshed visuals we noticed in 2023’s Layers of Fears.
As for Damaged Mirror’s providing? Right here, we are able to count on isometric horror I Hate This Place based mostly on the 80s comedian of the identical identify that is nonetheless listed as releasing subsequent month, however has been delayed to January 29, 2026. However there are additionally two codenamed video games in growth, too: Venture M and Venture F.
We all know subsequent to nothing about Venture F, however Venture M is believed to launch subsequent 12 months. Whereas the live-action teaser we noticed earlier this 12 months offers away little or no — aside from the M might stand for “Marionette”, maybe?! — Bloober confirms it is going to be obtainable completely on each Change 2 and the OG console.
And naturally, after the outstanding success of Silent Hill 2 Remake, Bloober can be remaking the primary sport within the franchise. There’s not a lot to go on, sadly, however we did get a quick tease throughout June’s Konami Press Begin Reside showcase that included the Silent Hill brand and its iconic music. No launch date was talked about, sadly, but it surely adopted information in February that Bloober Crew had signed a take care of Konami to make a brand new sport based mostly on the Japanese firm’s IP.
We thought 2023’s Layers of Worry remake was ‘Okay,’ awarding it 6/10, writing: “Layers of Worry is an atmospheric tour by the shattered psyches of some severely tortured artists, however predictable shock ways fail to supply greater than a handful of real scares, not to mention layers of them.”
