Developer Bloober Team just showed off a significant chunk of gameplay from its Unreal Engine 5 remake of Layers of Fear, with over 10 minutes of footage to scare the crap out of. The team is taking liberties with their reimagining of the 2023 series, with this clip showing the location of the in-game Lighthouse, an all-new play space included in the remake.
Also, this current Layers of Fear release actually includes Layers of Fear 2 and all of the franchise’s DLC, so the new release doubles as something of a collectible. Here’s a list of the game’s new features, straight from developer Bloober Team:
The last layers of fear Experience – The series’ crowning glory projects an overarching narrative across the entire franchise.
Horror Reimagined – Everything in the Layers of Fear series is merged into one experience, including all DLC, so players can find all the answers they seek.
Stunning New Looks – Enhanced with improved Unreal Engine 5 technology. This version offers a more immersive horror experience with the addition of Ray Tracing, HDR, 4K resolution and Lumen system.
Psychological Horror – A grim yet captivating psychedelic first-person horror game focused on tense exploration, puzzle solving, and immersive storytelling. Discover what lurks in the depths of the human psyche with this cathartic and mature game.
new stuff – All-new core mechanics to be introduced in Layers of Fear and its sequel, plus additional features, so all chapters and stories blend together seamlessly.
Horror through the multiple lenses of art – Explore the depths of obsession with three different stories of craft-obsessed protagonists (the painter, the actor, and the writer) that intertwine to create a truly immersive experience and gripping story.
Classic and sinister soundtrack – A hauntingly beautiful soundtrack composed by renowned musician Arek Reikowski. He has composed a fascinating score that adds an extra layer of tension to the game and will leave you on the edge of your seat.
