The Medium horror developers who signed an agreement with Konami are preparing two large projects at once

The developers of the horror released in January 2023 The medium from a Polish studio Bloober team two large projects are currently being prepared. They told about this in a commentary to the publication. IGN

“We are actively working on two projects at once. One is already in production and the other is in preparation for production. Both will surpass The Medium in scope.

But we want to emphasize that these projects are not based on descriptions and settings that have begun to circulate on the network in recent days, “said Marketing Director Tomasz Hawlikowski.

The Medium will be released on September 3 on PlayStation 5

The descriptions mentioned by Gavlikovsky were found on the official website of the European Commission in the Creative Europe section of the initiative to support talented studios. Users suggested that one of the code names listed below hides the restart of Silent Hill, but the developers have denied this.

In total, three projects were found on the site under the Bloober Team brand. They are characterized as follows:

  • H2O… A project inspired by the commercial success of Layers of Fear and directly developing its ideas. Players will find a similar storytelling format – a closed location and a multi-layered story of one single character, which will unfold through a series of dark, mysterious and surreal scenes. The project should also imply a degree of non-linearity – depending on their actions, players will come to one of several finals.
  • BLACK… An unusual cocktail from a medieval setting, diluted with an alien threat. Players will have to travel across a variety of locations, constantly being in a state of stress and tension. There are a lot of enemies here, and the hero is too weak. To overcome obstacles, you will have to rely on your ingenuity and stealth. The developers are going to offer the audience a dynamic first-person combat system that focuses on brutal and aggressive battles using fists and melee weapons. Branching narrative and complex moral dilemmas are present. There is the potential for BLACK to become a separate franchise that tells the story of the same world, only in different time periods and geographic locations.
  • Dum spiro… Historical horror-drama, the events of which unfold in 1941-1944 in the Jewish Lodz ghetto, created by the Nazis on the territory of Poland. The role of the protagonist is assigned to a young man who strives to save his sister at any cost. One of the key features should be an unusual narrative structure – first, players will plunge headlong into the central narrative, and then gradually become independent actors, directly influencing the characters and their fates.

Commenting on this information in a conversation with IGN, Gawlikowski stated that Dum Spiro “for various reasons is no longer in active development… The studio made several prototypes, but none was considered viable in modern realities.

The game, codenamed BLACK, is still in development, but the concept has undergone changes and no longer matches the description above

Finally, H2O ends up became Layers of Fear 2which came out in 2019.

On June 30, Bloober Team studio announced the signing of a strategic agreement with Japanese publisher Konami. Shortly thereafter, VGC reported with reference to its sources that the developers of The Medium were commissioned to create one of the new games in the Silent Hill universe.
