A brand new Silent Hill sport is formally on the best way in keeping with Konami, because the developer and writer has introduced {that a} dwell occasion shall be going down that highlights what we will anticipate from the collection going ahead, together with a sneaky Silent Hill 2 reference. This follows months of hypothesis and rumours surrounding the return of probably the greatest horror video games, with the official silence now being damaged.
It’s unclear precisely what Konami shall be displaying off of this new Silent Hill sport, or if it’ll really be a number of video games, in keeping with earlier rumours. The reveal from Konami says the next: “In your stressed desires, do you see that city? The newest updates for the Silent Hill collection, shall be revealed through the Silent Hill Transmission.”
The showcase is going down on Wednesday October 19 at 10PM BST / 2PM PDT / 5PM EST, we don’t know precisely how lengthy it is going to final, whether or not there shall be new Silent Hill gameplay, releases dates, or simply some bulletins.
A number of rumours and listings from this 12 months have pointed in the direction of some Silent Hill sport information, with the likes of Silent Hill film director Christoph Gans speaking repeatedly about how Konami is planning to carry the franchise again. Based on Gans this Silent Hill reboot will embody a whole franchise relaunch “by way of video video games,” and this has occurred as Konami has “been galvanised by the success of the Resident Evil 2 and three reboots” over at Capcom.
On high of all that, a brand new Silent Hill sport was really unintentionally teased (or revealed, relying on the way you take a look at it) not too long ago as effectively. A Korean score for a brand new sport, known as Silent Hill: The Brief Message, appeared on-line and it wasn’t totally clear on the time what it was. Odds are we’ll be listening to extra about this Silent Hill sport on the transmission from Konami this week.
This Silent hill sport might very effectively be what comes from the Bloober Workforce and Konami partnership that was introduced final 12 months. Whereas there has by no means been any point out of Silent Hill on this context formally, Bloober Workforce’s output or trendy horror video games Layers of Concern, Blair Witch, and The Medium all recommend that horror is on the playing cards within the partnership, which led many to imagine a brand new Silent Hill sport to be concerned.
These Bloober Workforce Silent Hill rumours have been denied by the developer (whereas additionally form of not being denied on the identical time, it was bizarre), however it appears increasingly more doubtless that that is one thing the staff has been engaged on.
That’s (largely) it on a brand new Silent Hill sport for now, we’ll simply have to attend for the transmission from Konami to study extra, however there’s a superb probability it’s a number of video games, and perhaps extra.
