Bloober Team have been quite a busy studio in recent years, with the Silent Hill 2 Remake developers having released a new title every year for the past 3 years. Despite this, Bloober began to tease another project at the start of 2026 – finally revealing it to be the next entry in their Layers of Fear series.
At the start of the year, Bloober Team shared a link to a website which was clearly hinting at the studio’s next project alongside a countdown timer leading up to Valentines Day. With the annual event having now come and gone, so too has Bloober’s countdown, with the team officially revealing that their next project is Layers of Fear 3.
The full ‘Special Event’ announcement can be viewed HERE and offers a look back into the history of Bloober Team and Layers of Fear – culminating in the unveiling of a 3rd entry.
For the uninitiated, Layers of Fear is Bloober Team’s biggest original IP, with the horror title first releasing back in 2016. Since then, the game received a sequel and a remake of sorts, with the latter coming out just a few years ago in 2023.
While the series is far from the most iconic in the horror space, Bloober have seemingly upped their game in recent years, with the likes of Silent Hill 2 Remake and Cronos: The New Dawn being received far more favourably – and so hopefully they are bringing their learnings over to Layers of Fear 3.
Beyond this, Bloober are expanding the Layers of Fear world into new mediums, with a set of books said to be currently in the works (the first of which is promised to release this year).
Bloober Team is a highly interesting studio to observe. While they started off as very much a mid-tier developer, Bloober’s cache has risen over time, and so here’s to hoping that Layers of Fear 3 will be their most atmospheric and layered game to date.
