Bloober Team are teasing a return to the Layers Of Fear seriesBack to the painting board
Back to the painting board
October’s here, so it’s time to start putting on a few extra layers. Of clothes, sure, but maybe some extra layers of spooks too.Layers Of Feardevelopers Bloober Team have just released a new trailer teasing a return to their series about creatives types in frightening locales. The next of the series, from the looks of it, might be headed back to the drawing board—or the canvas perhaps—with another story about a painter.
“Check out this Unreal Engine 5 teaser trailer for clues on what this new, yet-to-be-titled project could be,” they say. I suppose Layers Of Fear 3 would be a fair guess, but perhaps it’s not so straightforward as it looks.

Bloober have done their fair share of horror at this point, usually leaning into the psychological side of things. In RPS’sThe Medium reviewfor their latest, Alice B says it “has a strong, unique premise, and tells a complex story very coherently,” but doesn’t really deliver on scares.
As for their seabound actor, ourLayers Of Fear 2 reviewsays that “It’s full of genuinely compelling metaphors that could have been expanded on, potentially moulding tired clichés into memorable, unsettling moments. The game is thick on foreboding atmosphere, with phantom figures materialising and dissipating just as abruptly, and mannequins appearing out of nowhere, but still mostly subsists on recycled tropes.”
Perhaps a return to the Layers Of Fear series will effectively mix the two, though it’s tough to say just from a quick teaser.
