Konami seems to have suddenly distributed its IP, which hasn’t been used for years except for pachinko games, to different developers…
We wrote the other day that after South Korea, Silent Hill: The Short Message was also rated for PlayStation 5 in Taiwan, and an image of the artwork appeared on the website of the age rating committee there, and even the brief description revealed more details about a project not yet officially announced. Dusk Golem drew attention to this ResetEra forum, and here he also explained that Konami has a lot more than this unannounced Silent Hill.
In fact, according to Dusk Golem, Silent Hill: The Short Message isn’t one of the three projects he’s heard of. So alongside that may be a total of four games, but since what he says is unofficial it’s worth immediately questioning what he claims, because although we’ve heard it before mostly in relation to the Resident Evil franchise, not all of his rumors have been confirmed over the months and years. At least he is more reliable than Hasan Kahraman. Does anyone still remember Abandoned…?
Yesterday we summarized which projects are officially confirmed, so we quote ourselves: “There is Silent Hill 2 Remake, which runs on Unreal Engine 5 and is developed by the Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, The Medium, Observer), No Code ( Stories Untold, Observation) is working on the Silent Hill spin-off Townfall, and Taiwan’s NeoBards, known for Resident Evil: Resistance and Resident Evil: Re:Verse, are making Silent Hill f, set in 1960s Japan. were confirmed by Konami this fall, and to these we can add the interactive series Silent Hill: The Ascension, which Bad Robot, Behavior Interactive and Genvid are working on.
If the four unconfirmed projects are true (one has already been evaluated, so three could be written), then one wonders if this is an exaggeration for an IP that has never been particularly mainstream, perhaps 2 and 3 except for the .
