In a recent interview, Silent Hill 2 co-director Wojciech Piejko stated that developer Bloober Team has had a boost in morale since the launch of Silent Hill 2 remake. He claims that it is going to uplift the entire studio. Additionally, Cronos co-director and producer Jacek Zieba added that the studio made “shitty” games in the past but will no longer do so, leading to the release of the developer’s upcoming game Cronos: The New Dawn. “It was tough for those couple of years before [Silent Hill 2’s] release,” said Piejko. “They made it. We made it. Bloober made it. And now, it’s very good spirits inside [the studio.] We want to show what we can do on our own, how we can evolve our ideas. They recreated a legendary game. They made the impossible possible, and it was a bumpy road because of all the hate on the internet. The pressure was big on them, and they delivered, and for the company, it’s an amazing moment.” Cronos co-director and producer Jacek Zieba, added:
“We want to be a horror company. We want to find our niche, and we think we found our niche, so now we just–let’s evolve with it. […] And how that happens is more complex, but it also happens organically in a way, like with [2016’s] Layers of Fear, people in the studio were like, ‘Okay, we made some shitty games before, but we [can] evolve.’”
