Konami Reveals Multiple New Silent Hill Projects On The Way

Some stunning news yesterday evening, as Konami actually had a ton of news regarding Silent Hill with a few different announcements. Ever since the company dropped the ball with P.T. and the now-scrapped Silent Hills starring Norman Reedus, fans of the franchise have been wary of anything the company has in development and has taken the majority of it with a grain of salt. In fact, the only real game released since that time has been a casino title you can now play in Las Vegas. That all changed yesterday as the company revealed four new games on the way under the IP's banner, the biggest of which being a remake of the classic '90s horror title, Silent Hill 2. The other three projects are being developed in conjunction with other companies, bringing about different visions and styles to the game's universe. We have more info and trailers below for all of them.

"Silent Hill 2 was the game that shaped our collective vision at Bloober Team. It's the game that started us on our adventure in game development. Now, we face an ultimate challenge.

In partnering together, Konami and Bloober Team will ensure that Silent Hill 2 shines once again to set new standards for the genre and deliver an unforgettable experience for the next generation of fans.

We can't wait for the moment when Players will be able to see our work."
