Yes, they changed the title of the game.

Bloober released a new teaser trailer this weekend during IGN Fanfest for Layers of Fear. This is the game that was previously known as Layers of Fears. It can now either be called Layers of Fear or Layers of Fear (2023), which is not to be confused with Layers of Fear not from 2023 but rather from 2016. This is now the third game in the Layers of Fear series, with the second game being called the rather distinct Layers of Fear: Inheritance....

A new psychological horror game is on the way.

The team that has a fair number of psychological horror titles under their belt already, Bloober Team, is hard at work on another one. Later in 2020, Bloober Team will release The Medium for the Xbox Series X and PC. As with most of these Xbox Series X releases, a firm release date just isn't known yet. All we know is that it's coming in time for the 2020 Holiday season.

The allure of The Medium is "how your perspective...

A horror filled trip back in time.

Bloober Team, the studio that created some horror classics like Layers of Fear and Observer, announced a new game at this E3. It's called Blair Witch and, as you probably assumed from the title, it is a first-person psychological horror game set in the Blair Witch universe. It's a completely original story that is looking to be released on August 30, 2019 for the Xbox One and PC.

The game will be released at a $29.99 (USD) pricepoint. It will also be available through the Xbox Game Pass at release. It is said to be a game that "studies your reactions to danger and stress." ...

Last month, we passed along word of an upcoming cyberpunk horror title called Observer (stylized as >observer_). It largely flew under the radar until today when the game was released by developer Bloober Team (Layers of Fear) and publisher Aspyr.

March looks to be a rather interesting month for the free Games with Gold on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. One of the games included is Evolve, a game that technically no longer has its original developer working on it. The console versions of the game don't (the last I knew at least) have the latest F2P mechanics and content added to it as the PC version currently has. So that might be a thing.

If nothing else, Xbox owners will get to play the enjoyable Layers of Fear and Borderlands...
