Ready Player One is a story about desperate people seeking escape from a collapsing society within the confines of a predatory digital world run by ultra-rich oligarchs who will do anything, including committing mass murder, in order to protect their positions of wealth and power. And now a company called Futureverse is teaming up with Warner Bros Discovery and author Ernest Cline to bring that particular Torment Nexus to life with the creation of the Readyverse, which aims to «to bring the promise of the open metaverse depicted in Cline’s Ready Player One novel and the blockbuster film adaptation into a tangible reality.»
Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team is making a new game based on a Skybound Entertainment IP
21.12.2023 - 12:47 / techradar.com / Bloober Team / Piotr Babieno
Bloober Team — the Polish game development studio best known for its work on horror games like Layers of Fear, The Medium, and even the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake, has confirmed that it has another new project in the works.
Codenamed ‘R’, the mysterious upcoming game is based on an unknown intellectual property owned by Skybound Entertainment which includes gems like The Walking Dead, Invincible, Birthright comics, and more. In a press release (translated by Google), Bloober Team’s CEO, Piotr Babieno, said that the project is a step in its “second-party strategy,” which involves working with external partners and providing them with the studio’s “horror know-how.”
No hints were given as to what property project R will be based on, so we’ll just have to watch this space. It sounds like we could have quite a wait on our hands for its release, however, as the press release states its “premiere” is planned for 2025.
Bloober Team is currently working on the remake of Silent Hill 2, which was announced last year, but still doesn’t have a release date. Details on it are light on the ground, but last month, the developer stated that production is “progressing smoothly” and is still “in accordance with our schedule.” The team is “diligently working to ensure the Silent Hill 2 remake attains the highest quality,” continued the statement.
In other news, back in November, a since-updated Best Buy listing for the upcoming remake led fans to believe that iconic Silent Hill foe Pyramid Head would be getting an origin story as part of the game. However, in a statement sent to TRG, Konami clarified: «We can confirm that Best Buy had the incorrect information included in the listing and that the page has been updated correctly.»

Original Luigi’s Mansion 2 Developers Weren’t Sure The System They Were Making The Game For
When it comes to video game development, secrecy is something that is paramount on multiple levels. After all, we live in an age where just about everything is talked about all the time, and that means that anyone and everyone can leak something if they want to or are “incentivized” enough. And Nintendo has had to deal with leaks of all kinds over the years. Plus, their secrecy about the upcoming Nintendo Switch successor has led to all kinds of “reports” coming out. But even during the development of Luigi’s Mansion 2, The Big N wanted to ensure that no one talked about the game or the system it would be on.
