Summary
Bloober Team, the developer behind the critically-acclaimedSilent Hill 2remake, has revealed that it has another new project in the works. This mystery project is separate fromCronos: The New Dawn, another of Bloober Team’s upcoming games that was announced shortly after the release of theSilent Hill 2remake.
Prior to theSilent Hill 2remake, Bloober Team’s games had a somewhat spotty critical track record, with titles like The Medium, Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, etc. receiving lukewarm review scores. Bloober Team was also behind Basement Crawl,one of the lowest-rated PS4 exclusiveswith a shocking 27% critic score on review aggregator Metacritic. However, Bloober Team made a triumphant turnaround with the Silent Hill 2 remake, accumulating praise from reviewers and fans alike and generating lots of hype for the studio’s future projects.
Not long after theSilent Hill 2remake’s launch,Bloober Team announcedCronos: The New Dawn, a time-traveling survival horror game coming in 2025. However,Bloober Team has one more project up its sleeve, as confirmed byCronos: The New Dawndirector Wojciech Piejko in a recentinterview with MP1ST. Piejko revealed that the Polish studio has two independent production teams, with one of them deep into development ofCronos: The New Dawn, and the other shifting its focus post-Silent Hill 2remake to a new project.
Bloober Team Has Announced a Plethora of Collaborative Projects in Recent Years
Piejko also mentioned that this unannounced game is currently in the pre-production phase, so fans will likely have to wait a few years to learn about it. Interestingly, Bloober Team has announced several projects in collaboration with well-known publishers in recent years, and it’s quite likely that one of these is indeed the project Piejko referred to. The most recent of these collaborations isbetween Bloober Team and Skydance Entertainmentfor “Project R,” which was announced in December 2023. Not much is known aboutProject R, but it may not be a new IP since Bloober and Skydance signed a licensing and publishing agreement.
Bloober Team’s Projects With Nintendo and Private Division
Bloober Team has also confirmed the existence ofProject Min collaboration with none other than Nintendo. Speculation swirled earlier this year thatNintendo’s mysterious Emio trailers were teasing Bloober’sProject M, but these theories were put to rest after the reveal ofEmio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club. Lastly, Bloober Team announced a collaboration with publisher Private Division in 2022 forProject C, a survival horror game that is apparently scheduled to beunveiled before the end of 2024.Project Cdoesn’t seem to beCronos: The New Dawneither, as the latter game will be published by Bloober Team itself.
If Bloober Team’sProject Cis still on track for a 2024 reveal, then the upcoming The Game Awards ceremony on December 12 is the only likely venue for the announcement before the year closes out. However,Take-Two Interactive recently sold Private Divisionto an undisclosed buyer, possibly resulting in an organizational shake-up that could’ve delayed its plans forProject C.
