Studio Bloober Team, responsible for the upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 , apparently plans to expand its horizons to other media besides games – such as movies. Nowadays, video games are a huge medium that is no longer inferior to other works of culture. Consequently, over the past decade, many games have attracted the attention of famous actors and directors. For example , David S. Goyer, a screenwriter with The Dark Knight and Man of Steel , worked on finishing the script for Call of Duty: Black Ops . More recent cases include Keanu Reeves’ participation in Cyberpunk 2077 (and thanks to the new DLCalso featuring Idris Elba). Today, game developers seem to be aware of their position and try to expand their activities to new levels, such as Hideo Kojima.
Bloober Team, the creators of such horror games as The Medium, Blair Witch and the aforementioned remake, have established cooperation with CAA. It’s a powerful agency that manages all kinds of actors and celebrities in Los Angeles, California. acc. Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno sees ‘great opportunities’ beyond horror games, although he has not yet specified what that would look like.

I am delighted with this cooperation. CAA is a top-notch agency and its portfolio is very impressive. Bloober Team’s strategy for the coming years is to achieve a leading position in the horror genre. It is a perfect match for both parties. We have a chance to become a company whose IP will be firmly rooted in pop culture. Together with our friends at CAA, we will expand this IP to new platforms, expanding the audience of these beloved titles. While we specialize in game development and tell stories through games, we see great opportunities to go beyond gaming while staying true to our DNA – horror.

Either way, Bloober Team has grown a lot in recent years, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see more film and TV adaptations of their games made. Recently, Hollywood has become very interested in the use of iconic video game franchises, and so far this process does not seem to be slowing down. The Medium and Layers of Fear Bloobers resonated quite strongly among players and not only. It is therefore possible that these would be the first productions of the studio transformed using other mediums.
