You know the song: since the abandonment of the project Silent Hills by Hideo Kojima in 2015, no games in the series have seen the light of day or even been confirmed. And we are entitled to rumors of all kinds every year, the latest wanting that several experiences are being developed by studios outside of Konami.
(1/2) are a bit dated, from 2020, so maybe this project looks a bit different now. But what I’m choosing to share. I know many will doubt this, but I have a lot of private proof to show this is real, & as always, I continue to wait on the Silent Hill game reveal.

Surprise, we may have been entitled today to a leaked concrete on one of them. AestheticGameralso known as Dusk Golemis a regular at franchise leaks resident Evil and silent Hill, which has many feats of arms, but also some errors to its credit. He claims to have received from a reliable source about thirty captures and artworks signed Masahiro Itō, emblematic artistic director of the franchise who would be back on this project. Several studios would be involved in its creation, and perhaps even Sony Interactive Entertainmentfor an exclusive or preview release.
The visuals would date from 2020, and there is therefore a possibility that development has since been halted. On the other hand, it seems that they are real: he posted 5 of them, and 4 were removed by their owner for copyright reasons, which reinforces their veracity. We are therefore not going to repost them to avoid a call to order, but you can find them on Reddit here and the at this hour. They represent a woman’s face reconstituted from post-its and pieces of paper, including one indicating “I hate myself”, a corridor filled with post-its at the end of which a character with a strange head is watching us, or even a room messy that looks like it belongs to someone with Diogenes Syndrome.
Dusk Golem added that characters named Anita and Maya would be present in the game, that there would be a mechanic around the SMS (real text messages, like what had been imagined for Silent Hills ?). So, fake, old and canceled project or first glimpse of a title that will really land on our consoles? Only the future will tell us…
