What many fans have asked for year after year will finally happen, because we already have a date for the reveal of the new Silent Hill. And it is that this is one of those beloved franchises and has been a fan favorite game since its introduction in 1999. Despite the numerous games that the franchise has, for many the last proper entry since 2012’s Silent Hill: Downpour. Rumors were recently confirmed that Konami has big plans for the Silent Hill franchise with multiple games in development.
But the most interesting thing is that this October 19 we will have the revelation of the new Silent Hill, about which we know nothing so far. Everything is expectation and a lot of curiosity from the fans for what will be shown to us in this new game. In addition to that even more games await us to be announced.

Original Silent Hill artist Masahiro Ito did the countdown and then retweeted the announcement of the new Silent Hill reveal, suggesting he’s involved. Ito was the art director of the Konami horror series in its first three installments, as well as designing many of the creatures that appeared in the game. In 2020, Ito confirmed that he was working on a new project. Which could indicate that it would be a remake of one of the first entries. Although there are indications of something more.
Notably, the South Korean game rating committee recently rated an unannounced Silent Hill game, “Silent Hill: The Short Message.” The game’s publisher is UNIANA, a company that regularly publishes Konami games in South Korea. One of the projects said to be in development is a playable teaser. Earlier this year purported images of this project appeared on the Internet, one of which appears to be a Concept art dated October 20, 2020 and signed by Masahiro Ito.
According to several reports, a Silent Hill 2 remake is also one of the games in development. Last month images appeared on the Internet showing a first demo of the remake. Christophe Gans, the director of the 2006 Silent Hill movie, is reportedly also writing the script for a new live-action production. One studio constantly tied to the Silent Hill franchise is The Medium’s Bloober Team studio. Last year, the Polish developer announced a strategic cooperation agreement with Konami.
Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka went on to work on Bloober’s 2021 title The Medium, also hinting that the next project could be a game from this beloved franchise. So, with the date for the reveal of the new Silent Hill, there are many options that we will have, and perhaps it will be more than one game that we will see.
