Back in February, Bloober Team revealed it had signed a deal with Konami to develop a new title based on the publisher’s IP, following the successful launch of the *Silent Hill 2* remake. Now we know that project is none other than a modern reimagining of the original *Silent Hill* game.

The original *Silent Hill*, released in 1999 for PlayStation, served as Konami’s answer to survival horror classics like *Resident Evil*. It introduced players to the fog-drenched town of Silent Hill, a haunting third-person perspective, and the harrowing journey of Harry Mason searching for his missing daughter, Cheryl — while confronting unspeakable horrors along the way.

With over two million copies sold, the *Silent Hill 2* remake proved to be a massive success, both critically and commercially. It's no wonder then that Konami has greenlit another installment in the series. The choice to move forward with the first game was also backed by fan sentiment — in an IGN poll, more than 61% of over 20,000 voters selected *Silent Hill* as the next title they wanted remade.

Here’s a look at the official statement from Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno, issued in February:

Konami, a legendary name in the gaming industry, sought a partner who could breathe new life into one of its most iconic franchises — *Silent Hill*. Bloober Team was selected for our expertise in horror and atmospheric storytelling, and in 2021, both companies signed a partnership agreement. In October 2022, during the official *Silent Hill Transmission* livestream, it was announced that Bloober Team was working on a remake of *Silent Hill 2*, widely regarded as one of the best psychological horror games ever made.

The success of the remake proved that Bloober Team had perfectly captured the atmosphere and depth of the original while introducing crucial innovations. The game was well-received by players, earning an 86/100 rating on Metacritic and an 88/100 on OpenCritic, along with numerous awards, including Game of the Year 2024 from IGN Japan and Best Horror Game of the Year from the IGN Community Awards.

The trust built upon the success of *Silent Hill 2* laid the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project. The deal aligns with Bloober Team’s strategic plan to expand its internal development division within a first-party framework.

Our collaboration with Konami has been incredibly fruitful, and the success of *Silent Hill 2* speaks for itself. By sharing knowledge and experience, we have been able to create high-quality productions together. Of course, we can't reveal too many details at this time, but we are confident that fans will be just as excited about our collaboration as we are. We can't wait to share something truly special with players when the time is right.

The *Silent Hill 2* remake launched on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on October 8, 2024. Although there’s currently no word on an Xbox Series X|S version, the game quickly surpassed one million sales in its opening days — making it potentially the fastest-selling entry in the franchise’s history (though Konami has yet to officially confirm this record).

IGN reviewed the *Silent Hill 2* remake with an 8/10, praising it as “a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror.”

The strong performance of the *Silent Hill 2* remake has clearly fueled Konami’s renewed enthusiasm for the franchise. Other titles such as *Silent Hill f* and *Silent Hill: Townfall* are still in development, and now the *Silent Hill 1* remake joins the lineup. Additionally, a film adaptation of *Silent Hill 2* is also reportedly in the works, signaling a full-scale revival of the beloved horror series.
