He added that his unannounced venture”will stay a Bloober Group identify“, even supposing it’s accomplished in collaboration with every other corporate. Babieno additionally defined that long term Bloober video games can be larger and extra taken with gameplay than up to now, and no longer be “strolling simulator” reports.

Bloober Group partnered with Konami, proprietor of the Silent Hill sequence, closing 12 months. Since then, a couple of stories have related the studio (which evolved horror video games Layers of Concern, Observer, Blair Witch, and The Medium) to a Silent Hill venture. It used to be even pressured to disprove that a few of its unused sport ideas have been supposed Silent Hill titles. Bloober in the past showed that is operating concurrently on two titles, one with Konami, whilst every other, to be revealed by way of Personal Department, is a brand new IP. Babieno has instructed us {that a} 3rd identify is within the pre-production section.
Later within the interview, we requested Babieno concerning the corporate’s ride operating on an outdoor license akin to Blair Witch, and the CEO in short touched on one in every of Bloober’s upcoming initiatives, making it transparent that his corporate’s manner is to make video games on his personal phraseseven supposing it is inside of anyone else’s franchise.

However I might say that we can proceed to have our DNA: the ones video games will proceed to belong to the legacy of Bloober Group, and they’ll be larger. we can inform tales [a través de la jugabilidad]it may not be a strolling sim form of ride at some point, however nonetheless, the theme, the ones emotions that [nos gustaría que nuestros fans sintieran], will stayBabiano stated.
