Don’t miss a single detail of all the Silent Hill event announcements.
We have been for months and even years listening to the possible return of Silent Hillbeing so as time went by this seemed more unlikely due to the situation of Konami, which has moved away almost entirely from video games at least as we conceive of them in the West. And despite this, the rumors of the return of the IP they have only gone further, hearing all kinds of names here, although at all times without much relevance or weight that would give it truth.
However, this week we have been able to see how the mist has returned with the announcement of a Silent Hill-focused event in which Konami is expected to showcase the titles you have in mind for one of its star IPs, thereby giving rise to the fact that, as is the case with Capcom and Resident Evil, it is sounding very loud a remake of Silent Hill 2the favorite delivery of the fans and that according to the rumors it would arrive in episodic format.

It should be noted that, in a certain sense, the titles shown shouldn’t surprisesince in what is a clear rookie mistake it has been possible to see that Konami itself would have leaked the games of its event by adding them in the description of it before its broadcast, which on the one hand partially spoiled the surprise , but on the other he has excited more than one for the names.
In this way, the first title that we have been able to see in the event has been Silent Hill 2 Remake, a title that would feature Masahiro Ito, creature designer in the original trilogy, in this same role, while the music would be provided by Akira Yamaoka.

Of course, in order to expand this title, we have had a development diary in which it has been possible to see part of development and motion capture.
Notably No names of consoles or release dates have been givenalthough it has been mentioned that there would be new news in the New Year, so we will have to be attentive in the first months of 2023.
