Gun Media and Bloober Team have revealed this week that they'll be collaborating on bringing back the hugely successful Layers of Fear franchise for a sequel, set for release in 2019 with voice acting led by award-winning horror icon Tony Todd. Check out the reveal trailer below:
President of Gun Media, Wes Keltner comments: "This collaboration between Gun and Bloober Team is a perfect pairing. Our collective passion for crafting memorable and terrifying experiences lines up so well, and both teams have an encyclopedic knowledge of horror. Add in the fact that the iconic Tony Todd is lending his commanding voice to this project, and I truly think we are creating a new masterpiece here."
Bloober Team CEO Piotry Babieno adds: "Revealing Layers of Fear 2 alongside the horror aficionados at Gun Media is an unprecedented moment. This partnership secures a passion for horror not yet seen on the market and puts a seal of quality on the game, to which no horror fan should remain indifferent."
Layers of Fear saw huge success following its debut back in 2016 across multiple platforms, ticking all of the right boxes for critics and winning accolades across the industry.
The sequel will be set on a desolate ship, and promises to "rely on the claustrophobic, ever-changing environments to keep players in the dark, never knowing what horror to expect around every corner and through every door."
Influences from classic cinematography including Georges Méliès and Alfred Hitchcock will be present, in what could be one of the most exciting games of 2019.
