Witness The Power Of Unreal Engine 5 In LAYERS OF FEAR's Latest Tech Showcase

In anticipation of the launch next month, Bloober Team and Anshar Studios are back with another gameplay reveal for Layers of Fear (2023), but this time the focus is on the technical aspects of the game. Thanks to the power of the new Unreal Engine 5, they are able to show off some brand-new mechanics and stunning visual enhancements.

This game will be one of the first titles ever released on Unreal Engine 5, and was built from the ground up to maximize all of the engine’s performance capabilities, creating a holistic, immersive horror experience with unparalleled technical specifications. This includes support for Ray Tracing, HDR, and 4K resolution, increasing visual accuracy, realism, the quality of in-game reflections, and overall graphical fidelity. As well, the game utilizes Lumen global illumination to achieve superbly dynamic lighting, Niagara visual effects to create particle effects in real-time and Action System Controls to improve the development process and optimization of all gameplay mechanics.

If you haven’t heard what this new title in the series is about, Layers of Fear (2023) presents a unified vision of horror reimagined and will be the ultimate experience for both returning fans and newcomers to the franchise. Featuring the original Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, as well as all DLCs (including a new chapter entitled “The Final Note” that provides an alternate perspective on the first game’s storyline), the game will also introduce the never-before-told story of The Writer, a harrowing tale that ties each entry in the series together.

Layers of Fear (2023) will release this June on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
