The Polish studio is at work on a remake of Silent Hill 2, though that might not be the end of it where its partnership with Konami is concerned.
"The fact that they chose us was both a great distinction and a massive motivation boost," says the upcoming remake's lead producer Maciej Głomb.
Bloober Team says Ito and Yamaoka – both veterans of the Silent Hill franchise – have been quite involved with the upcoming remake's development.
Bloober Team's head of production Kacper Michalski says it's "a complete world combining two apparently unrelated stories."
"We are aware of the Resident Evil 2 remake's resounding success, and we are aware that the game is considered a benchmark on how to release a game anew after a long break," says Maciej Głomb.
Anything introduced by Bloober Team is first consulted with Konami since it wants the remake "to be as close as it can to the classic Silent Hill 2."
The Polish developer is currently also working on a Silent Hill 2 remake, as well as the upcoming Layers of Fears.
Let's just curb all this negativity and try to be excited about this new project for a change.
The remake has been in development since 2019, but when it launches is going to be entirely up to Konami, the developer says.
"We approach working on the remake with such great care and respect for the original game," the developer says.
Bloober Team and Konami's survival horror remake is looking like a giant technological leap over the 2001 original.
Speaking to people "close to the project," journalist Imran Khan says Konami has been "pretty good" at choosing partners.

3D audio is also supported on the console, and "superfast data streaming" ensures players can explore the town seamlessly.
Bloober Team's Mateusz Lenart says the remake will feature the "best facial expressions" in the series' history due to state-of-the-art motion capture.
A Core i7-8700K or Ryzen 5 3600X, an RTX 2080 or Radeon 6800XT, and 16 GB RAM are needed to run at Medium quality in 60 FPS or High quality in 30 FPS.
The long-rumoured Silent Hill 2 remake has been officially announced. Developed by Bloober Team, it will release for PS5 and PC.
A new report reiterates that a Bloober Team-developed Silent Hill 2 remake will be announced later today, with Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito also involved.
Masahiro Ito, who created the iconic Pyramid Head, and composer Akira Yamaoka have both shared the Transmission stream's announcement.
After nearly three years of persistent leaks and rumours, it seems Konami is finally ready to officially unveil the future of the Silent Hill franchise.
