Bloober Team, the studio behind The Medium and Observer, has just revealed that Layers of Fear 2 is coming to the Switch eShop on May 20th.
Developed for Switch in conjunction with Dreamloop Games, this first-person psychological horror game takes place on a lavish ocean liner, with the player assumed the role of a famous Hollywood actor. However, the "eccentric and mysterious" director (voiced by Hollywood horror legend Tony Todd) has some strange ideas for his lead star.
Here are some selling points, direct from the publisher:
+ Story-Driven Exploration - Explore the bizarre rooms and corridors of the ocean liner. Piece together your past and expose the reason why you have been cast for this film.
+ Psychological & Psychedelic Horror - Is this all part of the film? Or are your memories playing tricks on you? Your world may change with the slightest of provocations and it’s your responsibility to decide what is real.
+ A Stage On the Sea - The deeper you venture into the bowels of the luxurious ocean liner, the more incredible—and terrifying—the scenes become. What awaits you in the final scene?
+ Ominous Classical Soundtrack - An original score composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, conducted by George Strezov, and performed by the Sofia Session Orchestra highlights the disquieting atmosphere aboard the ship.
Layers of Fear 2 is now available to pre-order on the eShop for USD 29.99 / EUR 29.99, and you'll get a special 10% pre-order discount if you lay your cash down now. We quite liked the original Layers of Fear, giving it 8/10 in our review.

I still need to play the first one, I heard from my friends it was good though.
YES. Its been a while since we last got a Bloober Team game.
This better be good as the first one. The first one from what I heard was OUTSTANDING on switch
The first one was great on PS4, need to get it on Switch and this one cause after playing Amnesia on Switch there is nowhere else I would rather play a spooky horror game.
did anyone find it funny that the game is more expensive than the first one
I actually really liked both of these. I know people have their issues with them but they did what they set out to do imo.
I hope for Bloober Team to create a horror game built with the switch in mind and make it timed exclusive. They did it the Medium on Xbox
Ah, I do love a good haunted ship. I'll keep an eye on this one.
Interestingly, the eShop shows it with a 20% discount, not 10%.
I played a bit of the first one at my sister's place. Definitely messes with your head.
Superb, I've been waiting on this. I absolutely loved the original.
It's a fine game - not as good as the first one in my opinion, but still good - definitely better than Blair Witch and The Medium.
Awwww YEAH. The first game was fantastic, but after lack of official commentary and The Medium's exclusivity I was close to questioning this one's odds here. Glad to have those doubts dispelled!
@nhSnork I am happy too. I hope Bloober Team makes a horror game made with the switch in mind.
Bloober Team has ported several of their recent games to switch and most of the them are in very good quality. the Medium isn't on switch as Xbox probably played exclusivity for it but I hope for a Bloober Team game to be made with the switch in mind.
Bought this in the Xbox sale the other week for £4.18. Amazing value at that price but would honestly say worth the asking price on the switch. Only reason I bought it was I was fed up of waiting for the switch version.
@Kalmaro The first one is really good and I would highly recommend it 😊👍🏻
@anoyonmus Yep, it’s really good and so I’m definitely looking forward to this, I had no idea it was even coming out 😄
The first LoF wasn't great, but Bloober Team's work has gotten progressively better over the years. I really enjoyed their Blair Witch game.
Another indy game that is double the price on Switch.
These greedy publishers make it so difficult to buy games on this system.
Nice!!! The first one was a decent game! Hope this one is good, too.
Dang... Layers of Fear is one of the first games I bought for my Switch and I still haven't finished it because it was too scary. And then I bought like a billion other games and kind of forgot about it. Maybe I'll give it another chance in the near future...
