Bloober Team, the Polish studio known for narrative-driven horror, is again drawing attention to its mysterious Project M and the possibilities of Nintendo’s next console.
In a recent LinkedIn post, CEO Piotr Babieno asked followers to consider how the Switch 2 might enable horror experiences that other platforms cannot replicate.
The post coincides with reporting that Bloober’s newly formed subsidiary, Broken Mirror Games, is working on Project M as a distinct initiative within the company’s horror portfolio.
Background and context
Bloober Team has built a reputation with titles such as Layers of Fear and Observer, and the studio has been active in supporting Nintendo hardware in recent releases.
Company reports indicate Bloober has released Cronos: The New Dawn and Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition on Nintendo platforms, reflecting an ongoing relationship with the Nintendo install base.
Project M is being developed under Broken Mirror Games, though Bloober has not announced a release date or platform exclusivity beyond references to the Switch 2 in public comments.
What Babieno asked — rewritten
In his LinkedIn message, Babieno posed a focused question about platform-driven design: he asked what unique affordances the Switch 2 could bring to horror beyond raw processing power or graphics.
He singled out factors such as immersion, tension, player behavior, portability, specific console features and controllers, and the sense of closeness between the player and the game world as areas where Nintendo hardware could affect horror design.
He said he was not interested in making horror more casual or safer, but instead in creating something that feels distinctly "Nintendo" while remaining dark and disturbing.
On secrecy and future updates
Babieno also acknowledged that Bloober may already be exploring similar ideas internally and suggested contributors who worry that public suggestions could overlap with the company’s work should keep their best concepts private.
He has previously signaled that more information about Bloober projects would be forthcoming, but as of this report the studio has not provided a timeline for Project M.
What we know and what remains unknown
Verified details remain limited: Broken Mirror Games is identified as the studio handling Project M development, and Bloober Team continues to release horror titles on Nintendo platforms.
No release date, platform exclusivity confirmation, or gameplay details for Project M have been announced.
As always, official channels such as Bloober Team statements, Nintendo Direct presentations, and eShop listings will be the primary sources for confirmed updates on Project M and any Switch 2 releases.
