“I mentioned before Konami was looking for pitches in Summer of 2018,” Dusk Golem said, “this was one of the pitches that got greenlit, but take it for what it is; a proof of concept no budget demo to pitch a concept.” The images show an over the shoulder camera, more reminiscent of Capcom’s remakes ofResident Evil 2and 3 than the glimpse of where a scrapped Silent Hill reboot could have gone that legendary PlayStation demoP.T.provided.

Can We Beat This Game In Time To Get A Refund?
This isn’t the first rumbling we’ve heard of Bloober Team being involved in a Silent Hill project. Back in May, Graham and I bothreportedon rumours thatThe MediumandBlair Witchdevs could be cooking something up. Bloober Team’s CEOsaid at the timethat they couldn’t comment on whether they were working on Silent Hill because they appreciate their relationship with their partners. You can read into that for yourself.
The core Silent Hill series isn’t well served on PC presently. You can findSilent Hill 4: The Roomon GOG but, unless you own a copy on disc or resort to other means, you can’t get hold of the first three games and haven’t been able to for years. Konamitweetedlast month that they’ll be bringing Steam versions of “classic games you love” to their official shop soon, and while Silent Hill doesn’t make an appearance in their teaser video, their correspondingInstagram postdoes include the hashtag #silenthill, suggesting the original might be getting a Steam release in some form after all - although whether it will be a simple port or full-on remaster like the Bloober-rumoured one remains to be seen.
If you do own a copy of one of the older games then it’sa lot smootherto run them than it used to be though, thanks to community fiddling and mods. The first three Silent Hill games are the classic experience of foggy streets, psychological edginess and weird-faced monsters, so it’d be a pleasant change to at least have one of them back in some form, Konami.
Nothing’s been confirmed from Bloober Team or Konami yet, but I’ll let you know if things change. Rumours claim it’s coming to PC and will be a timed-exclusive on PlayStation. If it exists, of course.
