Bloober Team is once again leaning into the idea that Nintendo’s Switch 2 could open the door to a different kind of horror game, with CEO Piotr Babieno using LinkedIn to tease the possibilities while the studio’s Broken Mirror Games label works on the mysterious Project M. The post doesn’t reveal the game, but it strongly suggests that Bloober Team sees the new hardware as a platform for horror ideas that go beyond a simple visual upgrade.
What Babieno is teasing
Babieno framed the discussion around what Switch 2 could do for horror that PlayStation, Xbox and PC might not replicate in the same way. He pointed to design factors such as immersion, tension, portability, controller features and the sense of closeness a game can create on Nintendo hardware.
He also said he is interested in making something that feels distinctly Nintendo while still being dark and unsettling, rather than toning horror down for a broader audience.
Why the Switch 2 angle matters
For horror games, platform features can shape how players experience fear just as much as graphics or raw performance. Babieno’s comments suggest Bloober Team is thinking about the Switch 2 as more than a traditional home console replacement.
That matters because Nintendo systems often encourage different design choices, especially when developers build around portability, handheld play and unique controller behaviour. Bloober Team appears to think those traits could help create a horror experience with its own identity.
- Babieno asked what kind of horror the Switch 2 could support that other platforms cannot easily copy.
- He highlighted immersion, tension and player behavior as key design factors.
- He suggested the team may already be working on something along those lines.
Project M remains under wraps
For now, the biggest unknown is still Project M itself. Bloober Team has not shared the game’s full identity, and the post does not add any concrete details about genre, mechanics or release timing.
Babieno made a similar comment in an interview near the end of 2025, saying more information would be shared “very soon.” That update never came with firm specifics, so the project remains a mystery for now.
What Bloober Team has already brought to Switch 2
The studio is not starting from scratch with Nintendo’s new hardware. Bloober Team has already supported the Switch 2 with Cronos: The New Dawn and Layers of Fear: The Final Masterpiece Edition.
One notable absence is Silent Hill 2, which has appeared on Xbox after its original PC and PS5 release, but there is still no sign of a Switch 2 version.
What happens next
For now, Babieno’s post feels like a teaser rather than a full announcement. The main takeaway is that Bloober Team clearly sees horror potential in the Switch 2, and Project M may be the game that puts that idea into practice.
Until the studio is ready to show more, the best clue is that it is already talking about what makes Nintendo hardware different — and how that difference could shape a horror game.
