Bloober Team Shows No Signs of Slowing Down

Calling Bloober Team one of the busiest horror developers in the industry would be no exaggeration. Fresh off the success of Silent Hill 2 Remake, developed in partnership with Konami, the Polish studio has continued to build momentum with original projects such as Cronos: The New Dawn. Now, another potential title appears to be entering the spotlight under the name Onyx: The Dark Grip.

A Cryptic Teaser and a New Trademark

While Bloober Team is already confirmed to be working on Silent Hill 1 Remake alongside several unannounced projects, fans recently noticed something new. The studio published a cryptic teaser across its official social media channels, consisting solely of a strange string of letters linked to a website.

That link leads to a countdown timer set to expire on February 15. No context, imagery, or additional messaging accompanied the post, leaving fans to speculate about what might be revealed when the timer hits zero.

Around the same period, Bloober Team officially registered the trademark for Onyx: The Dark Grip with the European Union Intellectual Property Office. While the studio has not publicly connected the trademark filing to the countdown teaser, the close timing of both developments has raised eyebrows within the horror community.

Is Onyx: The Dark Grip Project M in Disguise?

In the absence of official details, speculation has quickly taken hold. One prevailing theory suggests that Onyx: The Dark Grip could be tied to Project M, a survival horror title that Bloober Team has previously hinted may be developed exclusively for Nintendo platforms.

The subtitle of The Dark Grip has only intensified that discussion. Some fans believe it could hint at gameplay concepts centred on physical interaction, tension, or control-based mechanics, potentially tied to Joy-Con input or other Nintendo hardware features.

At this stage, however, these interpretations remain firmly in the realm of educated guesswork.

All Eyes on February 2026

Bloober Team has yet to comment on the trademark filing of Onyx: The Dark Grip, offering no confirmation regarding genre, platforms, or whether the trademark and teaser are directly related. Until the countdown concludes, the studio’s next move remains a mystery.

What is clear is that Bloober Team shows no signs of slowing down. With multiple projects in development and another potential reveal looming, February 15 is shaping up to be a key date for fans of modern horror games.
