Not content with revitalizing interest in the Silent Hill franchise and releasing a worthy successor to Dead Space in the span of a year, Bloober Team is teasing a new project. A teaser website, “RemosdNeulSerorehsoOvamCeyerd.com,” emerged on New Year’s Eve, counting down to an announcement on February 15th.
However, a recent trademark in Europe, as discovered by Reddit, may have already spoiled the surprise. Titled “Onyx: The Dark Grip,” Bloober Team applied for the trademark in March 2024 – it was registered several months later in August and seemingly updated today. Unless this is a codename, you might want to dash those hopes for a new Eternal Darkness.
So what is it? Perhaps it’s Project M, a Nintendo Switch-exclusive survival horror title announced back in February 2023. In a recent interview with Nintendo Insider, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno said that it would “introduce a bold twist” that hasn’t been seen in any other horror titles. It’s apparently a “vision that could only exist on Nintendo hardware.”
Whatever it may end up being, Babieno promised that fans of “Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Limbo, and Eternal Darkness will immediately feel at home.” A new twist on the Sanity system, perhaps? One could certainly hope.
In the meantime, Bloober Team is also working on a remake of Silent Hill 1. It also recently released Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece for Nintendo Switch 2 and is working on an Easy difficulty for Cronos: The New Dawn called Temporal Diver, launching in early 2026.
