More information has apparently been revealed about the future of Silent Hill. Big if true...
It appears more “sources” have been passing information to Video Game Chronicle and this set of information would seem to clarify further some of the details that Dusk Golem was given in the last set of leaks.
You might recall that one of the biggest claims regarding the future of Silent Hill was that there would be a remake and a mainline entry as well as some sort of episodic release. Well, according to the unnamed sources that VGC are citing, the remake is of none other than Silent Hill 2 and that particular project is being handled by Bloober Team. This remake supposedly features a whole host of new features, not merely a visual update. According to the latest round of details, Silent Hill fans are set to experience “reworked AI, animations, puzzles and several new endings”. On top of that, it will potentially be a timed exclusive, dropping on Playstation consoles prior to any other platform.
As for the mainline entry? It still remains unclear which studio is handling that one. But according to VGC, their sources revealed to them last year that a Japanese team were handling development on the latest mainline iteration of Silent Hill. According to VGC, the images that were leaked last week are not of a Silent Hill game, but a P.T-style teaser that was given the moniker “Sakura”. Apparently, this teaser would be used in exactly the same way that Konami used P.T – as a way to build anticipation and market “future projects”, which in this context, the implication is that those future projects would be a Silent Hill game.
A little more detail was provided in relation to this supposed episodic title, with one of the studios mentioned being Annapurna, the studio behind Outer Wilds. The caveat here is that there is no claim being made that they are the ones actually developing this episodic game, but that their name has been mentioned as possibly having entered discussions with Konami. There is no substantiation to an actual greenlit Annapurna Silent Hill game.
All-in-all, at this point it’s impossible to distinguish rumour from anything remotely tangible. That said, I can see this story actively evolving over the coming days and weeks. The rumour mill and leaks could gather such momentum that we get something official: a confirmation or denial. Either way, I’ll keep everyone posted and be sure to provide any updates if they emerge.
For now, and for Silent Hill fans – let’s keep everything: fingers; toes… tentacles (?) crossed for some good news.
