Bloober Team has announced that they are developing the third game in the Layers of Fear series and has released an Unreal Engine 5 teaser trailer.
The first Layers of Fear game was released in 2016, in which we played a painter trying to complete his Magnum Opus. The story was later enriched with inheritance DLC, in which we played the painter’s daughter.
Layers of Fear 2 was released in 2019. Although the games were set in the same universe, this was not a direct sequel, this time we played the story of a Hollywood actor traveling on a expedition ship in the ocean.
Bloober Team is not only a studio known for Layers of Fear, but its portfolios are based on successful horror and thrillers such as Blair Witch, the Observer and finally The Medium.
Piotr Babiebo, ceo of Layers of Fear 3 (not yet named), says “we are delighted to be returning to this universe in a smarter and more experienced state.” The reason they announced the game on the Tokyo Games Show was because Japan was the cradle of psychological horror games.
