After spending many years dormant, Konami has started to revitalise the Silent Hill franchise, with multiple projects currently in the works. While it was previously announced that a remake of the PS2 classic Silent Hill 2 is in the works, it would appear as though the publisher in fact has multiple Silent Hill remakes planned.
As part of the company’s quarterly earnings report (and shared by VGC), Konami offered an update on its in-development titles. First, in discussing the MGS3: Snake Eater remake, they stated:
“As for ongoing efforts, we are working diligently on Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater, which faithfully recreates the story, characters, and game design of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, one of the most beloved entries in the Metal Gear series, and updates its graphical style to modern graphics for the current generation.”
More interestingly, the publisher seemed to let slip that multiple Silent Hill remakes are currently in the works, saying “…as well as remakes and completely new entries in the Silent Hill series, which gained popularity as a psychological horror game.”
Currently, Konami has only officially announced a single Silent Hill remake – that being Silent Hill 2 in partnership with Bloober Team. Unless the plurality of the word ‘remakes’ was spoken in error, it seems as though Konami has a lot of cooks in the kitchen working on Silent Hill remakes. It will be interesting to see which entry is set to get the remake treatment; perhaps the original Silent Hill?
