Bloober Team Abandons Psychological Horror for Mass-Market Appeal

Polish game developer Bloober Team, known for its psychological horror games like Layers of Fear, is shifting away from the genre and focusing on "mass-market horror." The studio is currently working on a remake of Silent Hill 2 and aims to deliver fresh gameplay mechanics and larger-scale games. This move comes after criticism of Bloober's handling of sensitive topics in its recent reimagining of the Layers of Fear series. The studio acknowledges the divisive nature of remaking a beloved game but is committed to creating a new experience while respecting the original.
