Why the Silent Hill Leaks COULD Be True
10Images have leaked onto Twitter that appear to show that a new Silent Hill game is in development. Could the rumours be true this time?
A few days ago, a handful of images were leaked by an individual going by the name of Dusk Golem on twitter. The images are apparently dated to 2020, so are quite old by now, but they are in keeping with the general vibe of a Silent Hill game. We have a messy room, perhaps a baby’s bedroom, a girl with self-deprecating post it notes revealed underneath her paper like skin and a red looking corridor with a bunch of post it notes stuck to the walls and a weird looking female figure looming at the end. There is also a similar image to this that appears to be the same corridor with a less aggressive red hue.
Now, Dusk Golem himself makes the caveat that a lot of details should be taken with a grain of salt. He makes the claim that he was informed by sources (whom he never names) that Konami were shopping around the Silent Hill IP to various developers, including Supermassive Games, who are the devs behind Until Dawn. One of the more peculiar claims is that Sony were mediating between Kojima and Konami to get the series up and running again.
As for the other claims Dusk Golem makes… Well… we have to take him at his word really. He assures us that he himself has proof that the images at least are legitimate, although he doesn’t share the proof that he has and keeps his sources anonymous. However he does leave open the possibility that these images may have been from a Silent Hill game that is no longer in development, which matches up with Ito’s tweets about working on a new game but hoping it doesn’t get cancelled. The dates match up too.
On another topic, Dusk Golem has shown in the past to be quite a reliable source of information. People cite his Resident Evil Village leaks, saying his again anonymous insider spoke of Ethan as the protagonist, sticking with the First Person Perspective of Resident Evil 7, being set in a snowy village and the addition of werewolves. These did all turn out to be true.
Oh and, did I mention that Dusk Golem’s leaked images tweet was swiftly DMCA’d by Konami? Yup, that did happen, adding to the speculation that these images are of a legitimate game and given what happened with PT, this is peak Konami behaviour.
The title of this video poses the argument of why these latest leaks could be true. In short, they very much could be, but I think in all reality they likely refer to a game that was in development. Honestly, it’s my opinion that this is yet another case of Silent Hill fans being offered a vision of something that could have been, rather than something that is.
