Polish developer Bloober Team has published a minimalist new website containing a ticking countdown and a series of cryptic assets, kicking off widespread speculation about an imminent reveal. The studio provided no accompanying statement, leaving the online horror community to dissect the site for clues.
Bloober Team is best known for atmospheric psychological horror including Layers of Fear, Observer and The Medium, plus the 2019 Blair Witch game. The studio's marketing has frequently relied on opaque teasers and puzzles, a pattern that has encouraged close scrutiny of this latest instalment.
Social channels and fan forums have been combed for meaning since the site went live, with users highlighting recurring motifs and attempting to synchronise the countdown with potential announcement windows. Discussion ranges from theories that the teaser points to a brand-new IP to suggestions it could herald a reboot, a sequel or a partnership reveal.
No official details have been released beyond the page itself. The countdown will conclude before Bloober Team confirms the next steps, at which point clarity is expected to replace the current swirl of conjecture.
Eurogamer reported on the teaser shortly after the site appeared, prompting many outlets and fans to begin their own analysis ahead of Bloober Team's timed reveal.
