This week, insider Dusk Golem leaked images said to be from the 2020 build of a new Silent Hill title. As he now reports, the title was originally supposed to be released in October 2021. However, the COVID-19 pandemic threw a spanner in the works for the developers here.
After rumors about a possible new “Silent Hill” title have been circulating over the past few months, it seemed to be getting more concrete this week. The leaker and insider Dusk Golem published supposed images of a new “Silent Hill” that are supposed to show a build from 2020.
The fact that the images were blocked due to copyright claims on platforms such as Twitter spoke for the authenticity of the images. Following the release of the images, Dusk Golem has now followed up, pointing out that his sources have confirmed that the new Silent Hill title was originally scheduled for release in October 2021.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated move to the home office threw a spanner in the works for the developers and, according to the unconfirmed information, led to the project in question being postponed.
Official unveiling already for the foreseeable future?
Dusk Golem also pointed out that the official unveiling of the title can apparently be expected “soon”. An official statement from Konami or Sony Interactive Entertainment on the current rumors is still pending, but recently there seemed to be increasing evidence that several new projects based on the “Silent Hill” brand are currently being worked on.
More news on the subject:
For example, in March 2022, Konami renewed the trademark protection of “Silent Hill” in Japan. Additionally, late last week it was announced that Bloober Team signed “a significant licensing and distribution agreement with Sony Interactive Entertainment for the distribution of select titles.” Last year, the studio behind horror adventures like “Layers of Fear” or “The Medium” was linked to a possible “Silent Hill” project.
The well-known insider “NateTheHate”, who wants to know that Bloober Team is currently working on a technically and playfully polished remake from “Silent Hill 2” works. However, the insider did not reveal where he would like to have obtained this information.
(2/2) which means it’s almost definitely still in dev & unlikely was canned in the last 6 months. While I don’t specifically know when it’s going to hit, & I know SH date rumors are cursed because of me, I do personally believe we’ll see it sometime soon.
