Bloober Team launches Layers of Fear 3 through a Valentine’s Day countdown that kicked off earlier this year. The project expands beyond the core game to include a companion novel and original soundtracks.
The Mysterious Reveal
A live-action teaser introduces the title, featuring an actor reciting lines from William Blake’s poem The Sick Rose. A painting crashes from the wall, followed by the actor flipping an hourglass filled with red sand. The screen fades with the chilling tagline: “The door won’t stay closed.” Details such as gameplay footage or a release date remain under wraps.
Expanded Horror Experience
Bloober Team pairs the game with non-gaming content, including a novel penned by horror author, poet, and vocalist Marta Bijan. Soundtracks from Layers of Fear, The Medium, and Cronos: The New Dawn launch in digital formats alongside physical editions on CD and vinyl.
Bloober’s Strong Track Record
Fans eagerly await the sequel, buoyed by Bloober Team’s recent hits. The studio delivers a acclaimed remake of Silent Hill 2, Cronos: The New Dawn, and Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition for Nintendo Switch 2. The original Layers of Fear debuted in 2016, earning praise for its gripping narrative and mind-bending psychedelic horror. Its follow-up, set aboard a haunted ocean liner, also garners strong reviews.
