Bloober Team, known for the Silent Hill 2 remake and Chronos: The New Dawn, began the new year with a mysterious string of letters on a website. The teaser includes a timer counting down to around Valentine's Day. Fans speculate it hints at new horror content from the Polish developer.
Bloober Team kicked off 2025 with an enigmatic online teaser, posting a URL featuring the word "remosdneulserorehsoovamceyerd" alongside a timer set to expire on or around February 14, depending on location. The site's design includes mixed capitalization, bolded letters, and varying fonts, accompanied by an animated background with oscillating patterns from video files. Notably, the copyright notice omits any mention of Konami or the Silent Hill series, suggesting this is unrelated to a potential Silent Hill 1 remake.
The teaser was promoted via a tweet stating, "Dare to peek into the darkness…💀," evoking horror themes. With 42 days until the timer's end as of early January, speculation abounds. The non-bolded letters form "Cronos," leading some to theorize it signals downloadable content or a sequel to Bloober's recent title, Chronos: The New Dawn. Others propose links to the studio's upcoming Nintendo Switch-exclusive horror game or even a revival of Eternal Darkness. Fans have also created anagrams for fun.
Adding intrigue, Bloober trademarked "Onyx: The Dark Grip" in 2024. Chronos: The New Dawn, released in September, earned positive reviews; Eurogamer's Kelsey awarded it four stars, describing it as "Bloober Team's best original game yet." Recently, the developer added an easier difficulty mode to allow more focus on story and worldbuilding.
This follows Bloober's success with the Silent Hill 2 remake, positioning the studio as a key player in horror gaming.
