Halfway between the remake and the sequel, Layers of Fears gives more details on its concept, which should satisfy the original fans and newcomers to the franchise.
This year Polish studio Bloober Team will release no less than two horror games. The remake of Silent Hill 2 that is already worrying players and the enigmatic Layers of Fears. What will this look like? Developers guide us more.
Layers of Fears is still not Layers of Fear 3
Indefiniteness reigns over the nature of layers of fears since its first official trailer. The reason for this is that the trailer alternates completely new passages and entire scenes from previous games.
So what is it exactly? one “completely new video game concept”. But still ? Bloober Team Chief Marketing Officer Anna Jasińska detailed this episode in an interview with DreadXP.
It’s not Layers of Fear 3. We came up with a brand new name. The slight differences in the spelling of the title are a subtle hint that we have something fresh here. Layers of Fears is a completely new video game concept. It combines the best elements of Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2 with new mechanics and a brand new scenario never seen before. We’ve compiled the best parts to create an ultimate, overarching story for the entire franchise. This has never happened before in the industry and we call it “Reimagining”
