If there's one horror dev that's been (rightfully) hogging the limelight this past year, it's Bloober Team. The Polish studio is horror's latest darling, having overcome its share of controversy to deliver two stunning new games in the last 12 months alone. But Silent Hill 2 Remake and Cronos: The New Dawn are just the first strides in its survival horror marathon. It turns out that Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno has something bigger in his sights: ushering a new era of Nintendo horror in the vein of the GameCube greats he's so inspired by.
After teasing that "Nintendo fans could take a look at Bloober Team" for a hint at the developer's next move, I'm immediately reminded that Switch-exclusive Project M is very much a thing. The upcoming horror game hasn't been officially announced yet, but Babieno mentioned it by name in a Polish interview last July as being "important due to our long-term plans". Bloober isn't playing around when it comes to the scale of its ambition, and if there's one studio that could succeed in helping Nintendo recapture its grittier youth, this could be it.
