‘The Medium’ Developers Bloober Team Joins With Rogue Games For Unannounced Project
Bloober Team has announced that they’ve teamed up with Rogue Games as part of Bloober Team’s currently-in-development next-gen titles for consoles and PC. While it might not seem like much at first, but when you dig deeper into the agreement, the speculation starts churning.
As horror fans know, Bloober Team have made a name for themselves with the Layers of Fear games, the Blair Witch game adaptation, Observer, and most recently, the critically-acclaimed The Medium. This announcement comes as Bloober Team released a video released last month teasing one of their unannounced projects. Not to mention Bloober Team CMO Tomasz Gawlikowski having to address “those” rumours, while also hinting at two “large projects”.
“We couldn’t be more excited to collaborate with Rogue on this incredible project,” said Piotr Babieno, CEO, Bloober Team. “We pride ourselves on making games that push the boundaries of originality and immersion, and we’re delighted to be working alongside a company that shares our vision.”
As for Rogue, they’re led by industry vets from Sony, Activision, Apple, Electronic Arts and others, with their recent game, Card Blast, being one of five games available for the global rollout of Netflix Games. It might not seem like much, but if you put up your corkboard, could this potentially mean that a Netflix property is involved? Or, could the game eventually show up on Netflix Games?
It’s reaching, I know. But, with all of the stuff going on these days, weirder things have come to fruition.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
