The new Layers of Fear remake is set to release some time in June of this year with a demo releasing May 15th (pc exclusive). Here is everything you need to know about the game.
What is it?
This remake is actually a reimagining of the games rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 (previously used the Unity engine). This is technically a package deal as it includes both Layers of Fear 1 and 2 with the DLC included.
The most impressive feat in this remake is the inclusion of entirely new DLC/chapters. These brand new additions will serve to tie the Layers of Fear universe together from both games. So, thankfully, you don't need to buy the original games to play this one. It serves as a pseudo reboot and a reimagining.
Game Features
Explore unsettling environments and solve strange puzzles to unveil the narrative at the heart of this first-person psychological horror experience.
Three different stories of craft-obsessed protagonists (The Painter, The Actor and The Writer) which are interwoven to create a truly immersive experience and gripping storyline.
Everything in the Layers of Fear series, including all DLCs, so you can find the answers you want.
New brand-new core mechanics that will be introduced to Layers of Fear and its sequel, as well as additional features, so all the chapters and stories will blend seamlessly.
Rebuilt from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear supports Ray Tracing, HDR and 4K resolution to make the visuals as realistic as possible.
The new Lumen system offers the most immersive and visceral horror experience.
A hauntingly beautiful soundtrack by the highly acclaimed and award-winning composer, Arek Reikowski. He has composed a hypnotic score that adds an extra layer of tension to the game and will leave you on the edge of your seat.
This is setting up to be quite the monumental project for Bloober Team and I hope it lays the groundwork for future Layers of Fear games.
