Layers of Fear was first teased in September 2021, emphasizing the use of Unreal Engine 5. It was officially announced during Summer Games Fest in 2022 as "Layers of Fears", but Bloober Team eventually dropped the extra "S" at the end of the title to just "Layers of Fear."

The first Layers of Fear was released in 2016, and its sequel, Layers of Fear 2, launched in 2019. In IGN’s Layers of Fear 2 review, we said: “Carried by hauntingly beautiful writing and an unsettling atmosphere, Layers of Fear 2 is one of the most stunning horror games of this generation."
