October is almost over! For all us procrastinators, still time to write a post or two to participate in #October# blogging challenges like: #Blogtober# #IndieWebMovieClub# on #Hackers# #Inktober# #Mathober# #WeirdWebOctober# + coding challenges: #Hacktoberfest# …

Happy October! For some reason this month has a plethora of daily blogging or other creativity prompts. Here’s a few I found: * #Blogtober# (consider this post my first for this, retroactively day 1) * Inktober — * LOLtober …

Bloober Team wants to keep making physical versions of its games for as long as possible. CEO Piotr Babieno said digital is easier, cheaper, and more profitable, but physical copies create an “emotional connection” between players, the game, and the studio. He said the physical element of gaming will always be there, even as higher resolution and lighting stop making games more engaging and most players still use five-to-seven-year-old hardware. The studio is also working on the original Silent Hill remake and a Switch 2 horror title focused on touch. This comes as Sony plans to end new PlayStation disc production in 2028.

Former Dying Light lead Tymon Smektala has a new goal at Bloober Team’s publishing label, Broken Mirror Games: find the next big name in horror. After 13 years working on Dying Light, he wants to find smaller developers with great ideas and help them grow. “I can easily imagine that we will find a creator that… could become the next Kojima, even. Like, why not?” Smektala says they’re looking for “the next Obsession, the next Backrooms, the next Weapons” projects that can offer a different take on the genre.

Cronos: The New Dawn was already one of the more interesting new survival horror games in recent years. Now Bloober Team is going back with a story expansion that changes the pace, digs deeper into its universe, and introduces something specifically designed to hunt you down. And the price surprised me.

A new report claims the Silent Hill 1 remake is targeting a 2027 PS5 release from Bloober Team and Konami. It also names Gabrielle Fritz and Jade Matthew as part of the voice cast. Fritz has prior game credits in Battlefield 2042 and Wolfenstein II. Matthew’s credits are mainly in Torchwood. No details on Harry Mason have surfaced yet. For three years Konami has put out a new Silent Hill title annually. Franchise producer Motoi Okamoto has said the goal is to keep that pace, with multiple unannounced projects already in development. The report suggests the remake would fill the 2027 slot and continue that cadence. So far Bloober has only confirmed the project exists via a social post. More could surface before the end of the year.
