Silent Hill 2 Remake Team Are Starting Work on a New Project

Bloober Team, the developer behind the critically-acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake, has revealed that it has another new project in the works. This mystery project is separate from Cronos: The New Dawn, another of Bloober Team’s upcoming games that was announced shortly after the release of the Silent Hill 2 remake.

Prior to the Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team’s games had a somewhat spotty critical track record, with titles like The Medium, Blair Witch, Layers of Fear, etc. receiving lukewarm review scores. Bloober Team was also behind Basement Crawl, one of the lowest-rated PS4 exclusives with a shocking 27% critic score on review aggregator Metacritic. However, Bloober Team made a triumphant turnaround with the Silent Hill 2 remake, accumulating praise from reviewers and fans alike and generating lots of hype for the studio’s future projects.

Not long after the Silent Hill 2 remake’s launch, Bloober Team announced Cronos: The New Dawn, a time-traveling survival horror game coming in 2025. However, Bloober Team has one more project up its sleeve, as confirmed by Cronos: The New Dawn director Wojciech Piejko in a recent interview with MP1ST. Piejko revealed that the Polish studio has two independent production teams, with one of them deep into development of Cronos: The New Dawn, and the other shifting its focus post-Silent Hill 2 remake to a new project.

Bloober Team Has Announced a Plethora of Collaborative Projects in Recent Years

• Project C (Private Division)
• Project M (Nintendo)
• Project R (Skydance Entertainment)

Piejko also mentioned that this unannounced game is currently in the pre-production phase, so fans will likely have to wait a few years to learn about it. Interestingly, Bloober Team has announced several projects in collaboration with well-known publishers in recent years, and it’s quite likely that one of these is indeed the project Piejko referred to. The most recent of these collaborations is between Bloober Team and Skydance Entertainment for “Project R,” which was announced in December 2023. Not much is known about Project R, but it may not be a new IP since Bloober and Skydance signed a licensing and publishing agreement.

Bloober Team’s Projects With Nintendo and Private Division

Bloober Team has also confirmed the existence of Project M in collaboration with none other than Nintendo. Speculation swirled earlier this year that Nintendo’s mysterious Emio trailers were teasing Bloober’s Project M, but these theories were put to rest after the reveal of Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club. Lastly, Bloober Team announced a collaboration with publisher Private Division in 2022 for Project C, a survival horror game that is apparently scheduled to be unveiled before the end of 2024. Project C doesn’t seem to be Cronos: The New Dawn either, as the latter game will be published by Bloober Team itself.

If Bloober Team’s Project C is still on track for a 2024 reveal, then the upcoming The Game Awards ceremony on December 12 is the only likely venue for the announcement before the year closes out. However, Take-Two Interactive recently sold Private Division to an undisclosed buyer, possibly resulting in an organizational shake-up that could’ve delayed its plans for Project C.
