Bloober Team Adds Veteran Leaders, Moves to Seven-Game Horror Slate

Executives say the model reduces single‑title risk by pairing two core teams with partner projects.

Overview

  • The Silent Hill 2 remake studio announced a shift to a multi‑project setup with two in‑house horror games and five more in co‑development.
  • Bloober named Thaine Lyman as head of studio, Katya Baukova as director of business development, and Michał Gembicki as head of publishing.
  • CEO Piotr Babieno said the company will keep two first‑party teams to protect quality and avoid the risk of betting on one title at a time.
  • The five collaborations run through the Broken Mirror Games label, and one of those projects is confirmed as Layers of Fear 3.
  • Leadership framed the plan as sustainable growth, stressing financial discipline, talent retention across roughly 270 staff, and avoiding layoffs.
