Layers of Fear (2023) — the New, Visually Stunning Horror Experience from Bloober Team — Coming to Mac on June 15

18 May 2023

On the heels of the announcement that The Medium is coming to Mac later this summer, Bloober Team is proud to share that Layers of Fear (2023) — one of the the first games to be released using Unreal Engine 5 — will also be available on every Mac with Apple silicon, along with all major platforms when the game launches on June 15.

Layers of Fear (2023) is a first-person psychedelic horror game developed by Bloober Team and Anshar Studios. The original series played a very important role in defining the genre of a narrative-focused psychological horror, gaining more than 10 million players worldwide, and has put the Polish studio on the gaming map, shaping the way its developers tell deep and disturbing stories. The upcoming Layers of Fear (2023), the series’ crowning work, is the definitive way to experience the critically acclaimed franchise as it features Layers of Fear and Layers of Fear 2, as well as all downloadable content (including the new chapter “The Final Note”, which will give players a fresh perspective on the Layers of Fear storyline) and the never-before-told story of The Writer, a brand-new framing narrative tying the whole plot together.

Layers of Fear (2023) will take players into the world of artists and their struggles to create a masterpiece. As one of the first titles to release that was entirely built using Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fear (2023) supports ray tracing, HDR and 4K resolution to make the nightmarish experience as immersive and realistic as possible.

The official premiere is scheduled for June. The game will launch on the Apple silicon Mac lineup, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Layers of Fear takes advantage of Metal, delivering smooth and responsive gameplay with high frame rates and breathtaking visuals. Users can play Layers of Fear with ease on any Mac with Apple silicon — from their incredible MacBooks to powerful desktops.
