It’s easy to look at Bloober Team’s upcoming Layers of Fears and think of it as Layers of Fear 3, but that’s actually not the case. The developers do not see it as a direct sequel, but rather as a semi-sequel that explores previously unexplored parts of the first two games.
In an interview with Dread XP CMO Anna Jasińska says the following:
“No, this is not Layers of Fear 3. We have come up with a brand-new name. The slight nuances in spelling subtly hint to us that we have something fresh coming. Layers of Fears is a completely new video game concept. It fuses the best elements of Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2 with new gameplay mechanics, topped with an all-new storyline never seen before. We wrapped all the best stuff together and created an ultimate, overarching story for the whole Layers franchise. Something like this never happened before in the game industry, and we call it “reimagination”.
It certainly sounds interesting, although a “reimagination” is not exactly new in the industry regardless of what she thinks about it. You can see more of Layers of Fears below.
