Back in July 2024, Bloober Team had revealed that they were working on a Nintendo Switch-exclusive game known as Project M. And while they’ve been keeping mum about the game’s development since then, recent comments made by Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno have certainly made things all the more interesting.
Speaking with Nintendo Insider, Babieno talked about the developer’s recent achievements in bringing Cronos: The New Dawn and Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition to Nintendo’s new console, but also dipped into talk of Project M. While he didn’t get into details about the project, stating that it’s still “too early” to talk about it, Bloober Team is confident that they will be able to share the first details about the game “very soon.”
What Babieno was able to say was that fans of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Limbo, and Eternal Darkness will “immediately feel at home” with Project M. On top of that the game will introduce what he refers to as “a bold twist,” which no horror game has ever explored before. Furthermore, this twist “could only exist” on Nintendo hardware.
And speaking of Silicon Knights’ 2002 GameCube title, when asked about what game he would love to work on without any restrictions, Babieno stated that he would “definitely take a close look” at Eternal Darkness, which for him remains one of his all-time favourite horror titles.
And to give Nintendo fans even more to chew on, Babieno even floated the idea of creating a horror title with Metroid protagonist Samus Aran in the lead role, or even a “darker, more unsettling take” on The Legend of Zelda.
Currently, you can grab Cronos: The New Dawn and Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition at a discount during the Nintendo eShop’s Holiday Sale.
