Konami has two new Silent Hill games in development

[Uncommon Valor]

Konami is reportedly reviving the Silent Hill series with not one but two new instalments.

According to Twitterer Aesthetic Gamer - who has accurately shared Capcom leaks in the past - publisher Konami "reached out" to developers a couple of years ago, inviting pitch ideas to bring the series to life once more. One game is thought to be a "soft-reboot" of the franchise, whilst the other is rumoured to be an episodic adventure similar to Until Dawn.

"In other news while I'm dropping this stuff, and I think I can talk about this, I'll mention there is a couple new Silent Hill games in the works," Aesthetic Gamer stated. "Konami about two years ago reached out to various developers to pitch ideas for two Silent Hill games, one a soft-reboot of the franchise, the other an episodic TellTale/Until Dawn-style game to go alongside the reboot. I don't know anything more than that though, but I sure do hope Konami's given it the appropriate budget and found the right developer to make those games succeed.

"This is just a guess, but I'd say there's a high chance one or both of those titles may be revealed this year, but we'll see. I don't actually know their plans or anything about these games other than their existence though, I don't know much about the inner workings of Konami."

Horror specialist site Rely on Horror also reports it's heard from its "own independent source that a Silent Hill project is in development".

Chuck in reports that Kojima's working on a new horror game and the recent news that Silent Hill 2 art director Masahiro Ito's now a core member of a new horror project that he hopes "won't be cancelled", Silent Hill fans might finally have something to look forward to. It might also explain why Konami's been quietly refiling lapsed Silent Hill trademarks, too.

Ahhhh Konami....

Never played one. Aren't they just a Resident Evil knock off?

Not at all. They're much darker & more intense. The first two are the best, especially the second one. After that... I wouldn't bother. Silent Hill 2 really is a masterpiece.

They're legitimately scary, especially when played at night. Unlike Resident Evil, which are really just about jump-scares. Silent Hill is more psychological horror.

Never played any. Saw part of a movie with some scary triangle head guy. WTF?

What about Metal Gear Solid? Game or movie?

WAT

and since we're talking about konami, i have little faith in any silent hill game being worth playing. but i guess pyramid head/samael doesn't make for a good pachinko theme.

When was the last good Konami game? They have been brutal for like 5 years now. Phantom Pain was probably their last critically acclaimed game. Mark my words, these games will suck. RIP Konami.

I found that Phantom Pain had a boring story (which for MGS is the greatest sin)

Do you watch Angry Joe? They spoke about a rumor that Konami is possibly collaborating with Kojima to work on the soft-reboot Silent Hill

I'll assume you're joking. But I'll bite.

Basically they had Resident Evil style game play but unlike RE.... Silent Hill games were actually scary. Most notably SH2 and SH3.

phantom pain was neutered by konami and it wasn't even finished.

i doubt kojima would even want to work with konami again, after they fucked him over re: phantom pain. they didn't even let him go to his own awards show and etc.

What's wrong with SH3?

 

[vcmmafan]

What's wrong with SH3?

SH3 was good.

 

[rob mafia]

What's wrong with SH3?

nothing. sh1-3 were all great.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

SH3 was good.

nothing. sh1-3 were all great.

agreed.

 

[goldennirvana]

What's wrong with SH3?

It bored me. I recall there being more action (more enemies) and less puzzles. To me, that translates to a less interesting atmosphere that leaves me uninterested in the end, so I'll never end up finishing it.

Absolutely loved Silent Hill 1 and 2 and really enjoyed 3. Don't remember too much of the Room and don't think I got too far into Homecoming mostly due to being busy. Haven't played any of the others but would love it if they came out with some new ones that revived the series.
