In September 2021, we shared the first in-engine trailer of a new Layers of Fear game. And today, Bloober Team has officially announced this project. Moreover, the team released a new trailer that you can find below.
Layers of Fears is a first-person psychedelic horror chronicle focused on tense exploration and immersive storytelling. Bloober Team claims that it has built the game upon the foundations of Layers of Fear, LOF: Inheritance, and Layers of Fear 2.
Created with the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 technology, the game will support Ray Tracing, and will make use of the Lumen system. Moreover, it will support HDR effect and 4K resolutions.
Bloober Team also claims that Layers of Fears will be the complete, definitive and at the same time unpredictable way to discover the stories of artists enslaved by their obsessions.
Below you can find the new trailer, as well as some new screenshots from it.
Enjoy!

Nice
Totaly awesome. Cant wait for their remake of SH2 also!
More walking simulators.
No combat, no tension, no gameover.
How is this a horror game ?
It’s a PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR game that plays in a lot of clever ways with your mind. A good horror game doesn’t need combat, mindless button mashing, countless enemy types and bosses. It can create tension and horror though a few simple ideas well planted in your head. The first one is probably the best psychological horror game ever made, as a sum of all its parts – level design, acting, soundtrack, gameplay mechanics. Actually even the beta for Layers of Fear, which had a few different levels than the final game, was better than most horror games you can name.
You have really low standards if you thing LoF 1 is a good horror game.
There is not tension in that game.
You can’t die in this.
You just walk and watch stuff that is meant to creep you out.
That is it.
Sure the story is psychological and all the paintings are creepy as hell but after 2h of just walking and opening 1000 drawers it gets boring and not scary at all.
Good Psychologial Horrors are Silent Hill 2 or Cry of Fear not that crap.
Different starndards, not low. You might prefer action and survival horor, while I prefer the slow and stealthy ones which either play with your mind like LoF or force you to outsmart your enemies like Outlast.
And that crap, pardon Cry of Fear looks like it was made in someone’s mom basement. To each their own I guess.
Don’t judge book by its cover dude.
Cry of Fear is one of the best horror game you can play and it is way more Psychologial than LoF will ever be.
I didn’t say games like Outlast or Amnesia are sh*t, far from it.
I like these games, there is tension in them, you can actualy die in these games not like in Layers of Fear.
Seems like for you the most important criteria for a good game is being able to die in it. Ok then… ????? We’re clearly not on the same page, no wonder you missed the point by miles here. You might have the time to put in countless hours into generic, repetitive action and survival horror, while I don’t and prefer the shorter and less frustrating ones, that offer the same amount of tension if not more for me through better use of level design and unique atmosphere, without waves upon waves of cliche enemies, bosses and jump scares. I wouldn’t say games like Resident Evil, The Evil Within or Silent Hill are necessarily bad, but they’re certainly a bit frustrating at times to actually enjoy them properly. As you shouldn’t call Layers of Fear a bad game just because you can’t die in it or you might be frustrated as well by some of its wtf moments and puzzles. Overall would say you’re really missing on a great experience, certainly more thought provoking and atmospheric than your standard shoot first ask questions later horror games.
Layers of Fear 2 was a good AA horror game.
It was pretty good looking too for a 2019 AA game.
Fears or fear because the title says differently than the first sentence in the article and then goes back to fears instead of fear…
Fix the title maybe??
It would be a nice game if it had actual gamaplay mechanics, instead of walking sim mechanics.
Gotta love hide and seek shiet!
