Summer Game Fest just got scary with the announcement of psychological horrorLayers Of Fears, the next instalment in Bloober Team’s jump-fest series that might really be a remaster, sort of? Bloober say it’s the “psychedelic experience fans know and love” and has “an expanded plotline”, so this doesn’t sound like an entirely new game. The freshly revealed Layers Of Fears is being built in Unreal Engine 5. As such, the trailer makes for pleasantly unpleasant viewing.

Bloober’s original Layers Of Fear, singular, released in 2016 andAdam thoughtit was more “a collection of spooky scrapbook clippings rather than a magnum opus”. Khee Hoon Chan felt similarly about the 2019 sequel in theirLayers Of Fear 2 review. “It’s too fixated on traditional jump scares,” they said, “to embrace the twisted, palpitating gut of its story about a flawed protagonist and his struggles with inner demons."
Layers Of Fears is due out sometime in early 2023. It’ll be on Steam and the Epic Games Store, or PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S if you want to cower behind the sofa while playing instead.
