Layers of Fear and Silent Hill 2 remake developer Bloober Team has quietly revealed that it's working on something called Project M for Nintendo Switch, and I'm perhaps irresponsibly wondering if it has anything to do with the mysterious horror project Nintendo just revealed this week . I mean, the timing is interesting to say the least, right? Nintendo surprise-drops a teaser for what looks like its first full-blown horror game in ages, and almost exactly at the same time, Bloober Team reveals a horror project for Switch. Bloober CEO Piotr Babieno recently told Polish newswire PAP Biznes (machine translation via Rely on Horror ) that the "first announcements" of Project M will come "later this year," and that the project will "open our second-party portfolio under the Broken Mirror Games brand.
" And while the budget for Project M is "significantly smaller" than games released under Bloober Team proper, the studio still views it as "extremely important due to our long-term plans," with Babieno adding, "We are working on it in cooperation with the world's best game creators for Nintendo platforms, so we cannot afford to create just a decent game." Babieno also said Project M is "a big development challenge due to its uniqueness." Let's pump the brakes a bit.
Bloober Team is opening up a second-party brand, Project M is its debut project, and it's being worked on by prominent developers for release on Switch. I'm cautious to infer too much from these quotes as they haven't been.
