The dark cyberpunk horror Observer by the makers of Layers of Fear and the recently released Blair Witch is now a few years ago. The developers of Bloober Team now have one in a mysterious announcement post on Twitter early announcement promised regarding one of her hits:

You can only see a dimly lit street canyon to which the words speak »Observer: System Redux«
"Next-gen reveal incoming. Stay tuned."
According to Gematsu, this should already be an improved version, allegedly an exact release date had previously been seen, namely April 16.
So far is still not sure what exactly Observer: System Redux is. Is it a remaster of the game for the upcoming console generation or is it actually the sequel that fans have been expecting for three years? If the rumors are correct, we will know more on April 16. But since a "NextGen Reveal" has been clearly announced, the game is unlikely to be expected before the end of the year when the new consoles appear.
Big announcement
The second announcement: A few months ago, Bloober Team made headlines with an announcement about Observer. Here, too, we only saw a cryptic, very short trailer that definitely showed a cyberpunk atmosphere. It now seems certain that the two games are the same.
Really "just" a remaster? Based on how big and mysterious Bloober Team are holding their latest project, the game seems to be something completely new instead of just a remaster of a not so old game. Why should developers inflate a port like this? On the other hand, the whole art style reminds of the original game. In order to be able to make a definitive classification, we will have to be patient for a while.
The original Observer appeared in 2017 and was about a detective in a cyberpunk city who could penetrate other people's subconscious. It was particularly interesting that the main character Daniel from the deceased Blade runner star Rutger Hauer was played. Cyberpunk was very important in Observer.
But before the still mysterious Observer project, we can expect a different cyberpunk game. Cyberpunk 2077 will appear later this year, which problem the developers still have to deal with, you can find out in our article!
