Bloober Team’s Project H is in late pre-production

Bloober Team has seven horror games in development. Babieno is blunt about why the genre is in demand: "I would say that horror is always at its strongest when something bad is happening to the world."

He calls the Silent Hill 2 remake a pivot point for Bloober Team. Early in that project, the studio drew heavy criticism from fans. Babieno says the team's response was to keep its attention on delivering a high-quality game.

Four of the seven have names

One identified project is a remake of the original Silent Hill. Another is Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, a psychological horror game set in the Star Trek universe. The slate also includes Layers of Fear 3 and Onyx: The Dark Grip, which is a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive.

Behind those games, Bloober runs two first-party studios and has added a second-party label, Broken Mirror Games, to co-develop with five Polish teams.

Project H is the working title for the next game from the team behind Cronos: The New Dawn. Babieno said the project is in the late stages of pre-production and was keen to share his enthusiasm for it.

Project H and the Bloober formula

His description of the studio points the same direction. Bloober concentrates on horror and iterates to improve both how it builds fear and the technology under its games.

Cronos: Lazarus is a story expansion and prequel to Cronos: The New Dawn.
