Silent Hill 2 Remake and Cronos: The New Dawn developer Bloober Team is moving connected a fig of caller projects, including a Nintendo Switch 2 mentation of its disorientating fearfulness Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition, and a fig of smaller games from its subsidiary, Broken Mirror Games, which see a mysterious Switch exclusive, codenamed Project M.

We don't rather cognize precisely erstwhile The Masterpiece Edition volition onshore — it's inactive labelled arsenic coming successful 2025 contempt the information we're moving down the timepiece of what's near of the twelvemonth — but arsenic reported successful the firm's caller capitalist briefing, it's described arsenic a "complete edition," presumably bundling the basal crippled with consequent contented and the refreshed visuals we saw successful 2023's Layers of Fears.

As for Broken Mirror's offering? Here, we tin expect isometric fearfulness I Hate This Place based connected the 80s comic of the aforesaid sanction that's inactive listed arsenic releasing adjacent month, but has been delayed to January 29, 2026. But determination are besides 2 codenamed games successful development, too: Project M and Project F.

We thought 2023's Layers of Fear remake was 'Okay,' awarding it 6/10, writing: "Layers of Fear is an atmospheric circuit done the shattered psyches of immoderate earnestly tortured artists, but predictable daze tactics neglect to supply much than a fistful of genuine scares, fto unsocial layers of them."
