Silent Hill Dev Bloober Team Is the Busiest Horror Studio in the Business Right Now 1

It's all go at Bloober Team right now.

The studio, which specialises in horror games and is perhaps best known for its remake of Silent Hill 2, is expanding its leadership, GamesIndustry.biz reports.

It seems the main reason behind the growth is to evolve Bloober Team into a multi-game studio. According to the report, the company has seven games in various stages of development, including the already-announced remake of the original Silent Hill.

Thaine Lyman has been appointed head of studio, while Katya Baukova is director of business development and Michał Gembicki is head of publishing. Piotr Babieno remains CEO.

"We don't want fewer than two productions, because relying on a single title creates too much risk in today's market," he told GamesIndustry.biz. "But we also don't want more, because quality, focus, and creative oversight would inevitably suffer. For us, two core productions are the right balance between ambition and responsibility."

The seven games breaks down like this: Two core "first-party" teams will work on Bloober's big "single-player horror experiences with strong gameplay foundations, premium execution, and themes that resonate on a deeper emotional or social level."

The rest fall under its co-development label, Broken Mirror Games. One of these is apparently Layers of Fear 3, which was also announced recently.

"We're not interested in growth for the sake of numbers," Babieno says. "We believe players don't need a constant flood of releases. They want experiences that feel meaningful, distinctive, and worth remembering years later."

It sounds like Bloober is leveling up, then, and busy making a whole bunch of games that'll keep horror fans fed for years.
