Bloober Team does not make games whose concepts have been revealed by the EU -apkrig
Developers from the Polish studio Bloober Team reacted to information from last week, which revealed the concepts of their unfinished titles through records of subsidies from the European Union. Last Tuesday, we talked about the Dum Spiro and Black projects, the first of which was an adventure from World War II, in which we take on a boy living in the Krakow ghetto, and the second is a genre-like game that is set in the Middle Ages and mixed with a sci-fi theme. . In particular, the first game sounded quite promising, especially considering the seriousness of the chosen theme, but in the end it turned out that the authors of Layers of Fear, Observer and The Medium are not currently working on any of them.
Speculation on the Internet, which is based on outdated or incomplete information, can often lead to strange theories among players, “admitted Marketing Director Tomasz Gawlikowski.
Tomasz Gawlikowski, Marketing Director of Bloober, commented on the whole case for IGN magazine and shed a little more light on it. We also paused that Dum Spiro was supposed to be ready due to the deadline by which the allocated subsidy had to be used, on the other hand, the aforementioned The Medium also did not meet the deadline and yet the game was released this year. “Internet speculation, which is based on outdated or incomplete information, can often lead to strange theories among players,” Gawlikowski first admitted. He added that European Union funding allowed the study to take risks, and reaffirmed that the earlier project – known as H20 – was indeed the second installment of Layers of Fear. “We also applied for grants for two other projects codenamed Dum Spiro and Black. After many iterations of the first project, however, we have come to the conclusion that we cannot deliver it in a form that is reasonably sensitive to the topic and at the same time remains commercially viable, “explained the marketing director.
This is the outcome that we naturally feared, because several years spent in the second largest Jewish ghetto in Poland, in addition to the skin of a young boy trying to save his younger sister, acts as a very adult substance for which video games are unlike movies. they are probably not ready yet. It is interesting, however, that the Black project also fell victim to many iterations and the impossibility of deciding on the right direction, of which only the job title remained. “We are still developing the game under this name, but it is a completely different project than the one you could read on the Internet in recent days,” says Gawlikowski. He concludes the statement of the pages of the unfinished titles by stating that Bloober is currently working on two games, both of which should be larger in scope than the last The Medium. The first of them is already fully developed, the second is in the pre-production phase.
And at this point, of course, the studio’s marketing director launched another wave of speculation that emerged after the Bloober Team confirmed its collaboration with Konami. It is thought that another game from the Silent Hill series could be created in the Polish studio, which could be the project in the pre-production phase. For quite understandable reasons, Gawlikowski did not comment on this topic, and after all the wild considerations about whether Sony or Kojima Productions may be working on the game, we have to wait again for further clues or confirmation directly from the authors.
