Layers Of Fear

Layers of Fear, the Series’ Crowning Work, Gets a New Release Window During IGN Fanfest 2023

With a frightening brand-new teaser trailer, Bloober Team confirms that Layers of Fear -  the series’ crowning work - will be coming to Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC this Summer!

As seen during the latest edition of IGN Fanfest, Bloober Team and Anshar Studios are excited to kick off 2023 by sharing an updated look at Layers of Fear and its upcoming release schedule. Get ready to experience a meticulously refined horror journey with what Bloober considers to be the ultimate Layers of Fear experience. Prepare to make peace with the unknown as you delve into the twisted and eerie stories of three obsession-driven artists in this first-person psychedelic horror game launching for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC in June 2023.

The series that defined narrative-focused first-person psychological horror is back to tell its last spine-chilling story with Layers of Fear (2023). The series’ crowning work is the definitive way to experience the critically acclaimed franchise as it features Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, as well as all DLCs (including the new ‘The Final Note’ DLC that will give you a new perspective on the Layers of Fear storyline) and the never-before-told story of The Writer, which will tie everything together. 

Layers Of Fear

Layers of Fear (2023) was developed from the ground up using cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 technology. The game will support Ray Tracing, HDR, 4K resolution, and makes use of the Lumen system to offer the most immersive and visceral horror experience in the market. Arek Reikowski, the two-time nominee in the Best Soundtrack category of the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, and winner of the Digital Dragons Best Soundtrack award for The Medium, has composed a hypnotic score that adds an extra layer of tension to the game. His hauntingly beautiful compositions—paired with the enhanced visual fidelity made possible by Unreal—will leave players sitting on the edge of their seats with chills shooting down their spines.
