Silent Hill 2 Remake dev Bloober Staff’s Valentine’s Day reveal turned out to be Layers of Concern 3

A web site from horror sport purveyors Bloober Staff with a weird url surfaced close to the tip of 2025: remosdneulserorehsoovamceyerd.com. The web page had a picture of a bloody rose, a countdown to Valentine’s Day, and a cryptic quote. Bloober had been awfully busy as much as that time, recent off Cronos: The New Daybreak and nonetheless engaged on one other Silent Hill remake, so it was arduous to guess at precisely what this may be. Nicely, now we all know: Layers of F3ar.

The web page up to date yesterday with an enormous announcement unfold and a tenth anniversary stream, which you’ll watch right here. The stay motion quick that kicks issues off is suitably spooky, that includes an especially foreboding cowl of American nation customary You Are My Sunshine and all types of perplexing imagery I can not make heads or tails of. Perhaps the Layers of Concern-heads amongst us can do some extra decoding.

After the quick, Bloober Staff CEO Piotr Babieno addresses the studio’s viewers confessional-style. “A few of you’ve been with us for a really very long time.

Babieno goes on to say that Layers of Concern marked a turning level for the studio that helped it hone in on the form of video games it favored to make, and inventive director Matuesz Lenart calls the unique an empathetic “tribute to artists.” They go on to gush about previous video games for some time and announce two books impressed by the collection, the primary of which shall be written by self-described horror sport enjoyer Marta Bijan and launched on the finish of this yr.

Then there is a teaser, this time particularly for Layers of Concern 3, the place a narrator waxes cryptically by a hearth. He ultimately seems to be at his watch, which clearly says “LUNCH” in big typeface, earlier than turning to the digicam and saying, “Would you have a look at that? It is dinner time.”

Which one is it, Piotr? Lunch or supper? Is that this one other type of cryptic advertising and marketing? Bloober didn’t present any gameplay footage, and Layers of Concern 3 doesn’t but have a launch window.
