Konami reveals what’s next for the Silent Hill series on October 19

Almost ten years since it released the last Silent Hill game (as long as you don’t record) PT.), Konami is finally ready to reveal what’s next for the franchise. The company will be announcing the “final updates” to the series during a stream beginning October 19 at 5:00 PM ET.

The publisher announced the showcase in a tweet with a link to a placeholder Silent Hill website. Presumably you can watch the stream there.

It looks like at least one new game is in the pipeline. Composer Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito, the art director of the first three games, shared news about the upcoming stream, such as Video Game Chronicle notes. Both have previously hinted that they are working on a new Silent Hill title. Yamaoka also provided the score for Bloober Team’s The medium — according to reports that studio is working on a remake of Silent Hill 2 after partnering with Konami last year.

Other Silent Hill Projects reportedly in the making include an episodic narrative series and a playable teaser along the lines of PT for a new main game. PT was an interactive teaser for silent hills, a planned full game by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro. However, Konami has canceled silent hills in 2015 and Kojima controversially left the publisher. The Silent Hill series has been inactive since then, except for crossovers like Pyramid Head that pop up in Dead in daylight.

Meanwhile, there may be a third Silent Hill movie on the horizon. Christophe Gans, who directed and co-wrote the first film in 2006, said this year that he had completed a script for another film. goose too hinted this month that Konami was working on several Silent Hill games. It seems likely that we will learn more about that soon. I hope Konami brings it back PT also.
