Layers Of Fears Isn't The Sequel You Were Expecting
Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team has dipped its toes into a few other franchises over the last few years, but as announced during Summer Game Fest Live, it's returning to its signature horror series with Layers of Fears. No, that's not a spelling error--the studio is opting to reimagine its previous games using new technology.
Built using Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fears uses the basic components of Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, and Layers of Fear: Inheritance, but with «an expanded plotline and gameplay direction,» according to a press release. It's not just a remake, however, with a new story chapter that you can see in the official reveal trailer.

Layers of Fears will arrive in 2023 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. It's being co-developed by Anshar Studios alongside Bloober Team. Anshar previously ported Darksiders III to Nintendo Switch and supported People Can Fly on Outriders.
