Blooper Team's Layers of Fear 2 explores an entirely new character and location, meaning players won't have to experience the first game to get full enjoyment out of the second. We had the chance to interview Ronnie Hobbs, creative director at Gun Media, who are publishing the game.  When asked about a potential Switch port of the game, Hobbs said:

"Our official statement is no Switch at launch."

While this isn't necessarily a confirmation of a Switch version just yet, with the first title in the series making it onto the platform it'd certainly make sense to see the second game on Nintendo's handheld-console hybrid eventually. It's also never a bad thing to have more people get their hands on the game.

If you're unfamiliar with the story in Layers of Fear 2, you play as an actor named Jimmy. After being hired for the job of a lifetime, Jimmy finds himself on a cruise ship that'll act as the new setting. The director who hired Jimmy is voiced by Tony Todd (Candyman). 

I got the chance to go hands-on with the game at PAX East and thought it was definitely an eery experience. It certainly echoes the first game as it explores ways to really mess with the player, like flipping rooms and making things appear when you're not looking.

Layers of Fear 2 currently has no set release date but it is still slated for this year according to Hobbs. The game will be launching on PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. You can check out our full interview with Hobbs down below for more details and gameplay.
