Nintendo fans keen to find out more details on yesterday’s unexplained horror game teaser Emio believe The Medium and Layers of Fear developer Bloober is behind the project.

There are clues that Bloober is involved in a recently-published interview with company boss Piotr Babieno, fans say. In it, Babieno discusses a mysterious title “for Nintendo platforms” codenamed “Project M”.

“Project M, although its budget is significantly smaller than the games we are working on at Bloober Team, is extremely important due to our long-term plans,” Babieno told Polish site Strefa Inwestorow.

Floundering 5v5 shooter Concord is set to go offline indefinitely this Friday – just two weeks after its PS5 and PC release – as Sony and Firewalk Studios admit “our initial launch didn’t land”.

Concord – one of several games snapped up by Sony as part of its live-service push under former PlayStation boss Jim Ryan – was initially announced last May. Since then, the response has been tepid, culimating in less-than-stellar player numbers at launch, and subsequent estimates it only sold around 25,000 copies across PS5 and PC.

And now, Sony is taking the remarkable step of pulling the game offline this Friday, 6th September. In a post announcing the news on the PlayStation Blog, game director Ryan Ellis wrote, “While many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognise that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn’t land the way we’d intended.”
