Bloober, the on-a-good-run Polish developer of the Silent Hill 2 Remake and Cronos: The New Dawn still has a surprising amount of other games nearly ready to release.
First among them is a Switch 2 version of Layers of Fear, the suspenseful, painter-themed creep-a-thon that began the studio’s horror specialisation nearly 10 years ago. This is called Layers of Fear: The Masterpiece Edition, it’s described as a “complete edition”, which presumably means it bundles all additional content released for the game, and it will apparently be released this year. There’s no more specific date than “2025”, which is odd given how close to the end of the year we are, but perhaps it’s being held for a sudden shadow-drop during a Nintendo Direct or The Game Awards.
The rest of the games come from Bloober’s subsidiary studio Broken Mirror Games, which was set up in 2024, and appear to be making smaller-scale projects. The first of them is I Hate This Place, an isometric open-world horror game, which has been pushed back slightly from a launch this year to 29th January next year. This is the 80s, comic-book styled adventure inspired by a comic of the same name, written by Kyle Starks and Artyom Topilin.
Broken Mirror has two further games that both still carry codenames. Project M is a Switch exclusive, intriguingly – and both Switch 1 and 2 are mentioned – and it will release next year. A teaser trailer for the game shows live-action footage of a man climbing a ruined internal staircase in a block of flats and then making a shocking discovery. Meanwhile, a girl in a white dress approaches the camera in a garden outside.
The other game is Project F, which has no platforms assigned to it or any apparent marketing material.
But that’s not all! Broken Mirror has a creepy virtual reality game very close at hand, called Star Trek: Infection. It was revealed a couple of months ago at Gamescom and will be released 11th December this year, on Meta Quest 3S, Meta Quest 3, and SteamVR.
Bloober, meanwhile, recently confirmed it has a remake of Silent Hill 1 in production. The studio also hasn’t ruled out a follow-up to Cronos: The New Dawn, though nothing is in development yet.
