But even with how different this is compared to the sci-fi body horror of Cronos: The New Dawn or the psychological horror of Silent Hill 2 remake, the team is sticking close to its Polish roots. And more than the setting and atmosphere, that means collaborating with composer Jan Borysewicz, best known for his work with Lady Pank.

If those beginning chords evoke more tension and empathy than straight-up horror, that’s exactly the approach he’s going for. “I didn’t approach this game as a pure horror title. My focus was more on evoking a sense of unease through the music, but paired with elements of hope.”

The result is a score that he believes would feel “right at home in a feature film.” Of course, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno feels this collaboration came at the right time, since he was a fan of Borysewicz’s music growing up. With how the studio has been hitting it out of the park with its music – remember Akira Yamaoka working on The Medium and Silent Hill 2 remake – this should be another fine addition to the collection.

Onyx: The Dark Grip launches in 2027, and unlike the studio’s previous efforts, it’s exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Whether that includes new content and features remains to be seen. Other releases in the coming months include subsidiary Broken Mirror Games’ I Hate This Place, a recently delayed isometric survival horror title. It’s now launching on January 29th, 2026.

Broken Mirror has two other projects, Project F and Project M, for release in 2026. Interestingly, the latter is exclusive to Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, but further details are yet to come. There’s also Star Trek: Infection, a VR survival horror developed by Played with Fire and published by Broken Mirror. It launches on December 11th for Meta Quest 3 and SteamVR.

Of course, Bloober Team is working on a remake of Silent Hill 1 alongside Konami, which doesn’t have a release date. The team behind Cronos: The New Dawn also has a new project in the works.
