Bloober Team has plenty of irons in the fire, with Silent Hill 2’s long anticipated remake being the game that the studio is currently focused on most, but it looks like it will soon begin talking about its other projects as well.
In 2022, Bloober Team announced that it had partnered with Take-Two Interactive label Private Division for a new survival horror game, and the developer says that game will be officially unveiled sometime later this year. Spotted by @pl_evil on Twitter, the developer revealed in its recently published annual report that the game, codenamed Project C, will be announced later in 2024.
Bloober Team says that the project is in an “advanced” stage, and that it’s “very pleased with the current progress”.
“This will be the next big step of Bloober Team in order to implement a long-term strategy,” the developer said. “It will also be the first original project (IP belongs to Bloober Team) as part of the new strategy. The first announcement of the game will take place this year and we can’t wait to show the effect of our work on this unique title.”
In addition to Silent Hill 2 and Project C, Bloober Team has a couple more projects that it’s currently working on. Last year, it announced that it was working with Serial Cleaners developer Draw Distance on a new project codenamed Project M. Meanwhile, in December, it was announced that Bloober Team was working with The Walking Dead and Invincible owner Skybound Entertainment on a new project codenamed R, which is based on a Skybound IP.

Take-Two Interactive recently joined the ever-growing list of video game companies implementing layoffs, with the company announcing that it was cutting 5% of its workforce (roughly 600 jobs) as part of a wider cost-saving initiative that would also see projects being cancelled. Unfortunately, it seems one publishing label operating under the company has been hit the hardest.
Take-Two publishing label Private Division has reportedly laid off the “vast majority” of its teams in Seattle, New York, Las Vegas and Munich.
More details have emerged about the ongoing layoffs at Take-Two Interactive, with reports suggesting the publisher has shut down two indie-size studios.
Take-Two is reportedly planning to shut down Private Division studios Roll7 and Intercept Games as part of recently announced restructuring.
Camouflaj, Oculus Studios, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and DC have officially announced Batman: Arkham Shadow, a brand-new entry in the beloved Arkham series that will release exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 in late 2024. Batman: Arkham Shadow will mark the second time that a virtual reality take on the Arkham series has been released.
Last month, GTA 6 publishers Take-Two Interactive announced plans to "rationalize" their "pipeline" by laying off five per cent of their workforce - around 580 people - and cancelling various games. As part of that, they're reportedly now doing away with 70 positions at their Seattle offices - Seattle being the home of the Take-Two-owned Intercept Games, the current developers of space sim Kerbal Space Program 2.
The future of Kerbal Space Program 2 studio Intercept Games appears uncertain amid ongoing restructuring at owner Take-Two Interactive.
