It was on his Twitter account that Dusk Golem, a name that comes up frequently when it comes to delving behind the scenes of horror games, published these images on Friday claiming that they are from a Silent Hill in development. A signed illustration from October 2020 even bears the signature of Masahiro Ito, artistic director of the first three episodes of the saga. We also see what could be a protagonist, prey to what seems to be the nightmares of a tormented teenager.
According to the author of the leak, Sony Interactive Entertainment would be “involved” in the project and the latter would be the result of a collaboration between several studios. What gives these images some credence, of course, is the fact that Dusk Golem’s Twitter account was hit a few hours later by a DMCA complaint from Konami itself.
Remember that Konami would indeed be active with various partner studios to restore color to Silent Hill but also Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania. As a reminder, Konami had even considered making important announcements at E3 2021 before forfeit.
In the case of Silent Hill, the sources clearly mention the start of several projects. In addition to the one represented in these images, the Polish studio Bloober Team (The Medium) would have for its part inherited a remake of the very popular Silent Hill 2, with the program of reworked puzzles and new endings, if we are to believe the sources of Jeff Grubb. Again, Sony Interactive Entertainment would be in on it, which would lead to a temporary console exclusive for the PS5.
