More Horror With Nintendo?
Are Blooper Team the only big games developer of horror titles out there? I feels like whenever a new horror game is announced for consoles there’s a good chance the Polish developer will be involved. And if work on the Silent Hill 2 remake wasn’t enough to keep them busy, Blooper Team are also working on a new game for Nintendo, apparently.
Coming from an interview on Polish investment website Strefa, Blooper Team mentioned that they are working on an unnamed title, one that is smaller (in terms of budget), then the games they usually work on.
‘Although the budget project is significantly smaller than the games we are working on at Bloober Team, is extremely important because of our long-term plans. In addition, we are working on it in cooperation with the world’s best game developers for Nintendo platforms, so we can not afford to create a decent game’.
Now, the above quote was translated by google translate from Polish to English, so please excuse the odd structure and wording, but the fact that Blooper are ‘working on it in cooperation with the world’s best game developers for Nintendo platforms’, presumably the game is for Nintendo platforms, specifically Switch (or maybe it’s successor).
Some have (understandably) assumed that this game must be the recently teased ‘Emio’ game, but I think this is unlikely given the wording in the interview. At one point it is said ‘The first announcements of the game can be expected later this year.’ Since this interview was done so recently (8th of July) the timing for Emio’s recent teasing seems a little too close to this interview—of course that’s just my opinion.
Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Returning to the black hole that is Football Manager.
