Everything Revealed At the Silent Hill Transmission Event
The Silent Hill franchise has been pretty quiet for the last 10 years apart from the odd spin-off thing. The last games were released in 2012. But it seems Konami is looking to revive Silent Hill in a big way with the announcement of five new projects, including 3 games. Here’s every Silent Hill project that was revealed during the transmission event.
Silent Hill 2 Remake
A remake of Silent Hill 2 was revealed during the transmission event. The remake of what is widely regarded as the best game in the series will be developed by Bloober Team (The Medium) in collaboration with Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito and published by Konami. The Silent Hill 2 remake revisits the main protagonist James Sunderland in his search for clues in the town.
Silent Hill: Townfall
Silent Hill: Townfall is a new game in development by Glasgow-based developer No Code Studio (Untold Stories, Observation) and will be published by Annapurna Interactive. Pretty much nothing is known about Townfall except for what is the teaser trailer but developer No Code has said on Twitter that they “can’t wait to show us more soon.”
Silent Hill f
Silent Hill f is another new game and will be a completely new story set in 1960s Japan and will feature a beautiful yet horrifying world. The game is written by Japanese visual novelist Ryūkishi07 who is famed for writing about murder mysteries and supernatural and psychological horror.
Silent Hill: Ascension
Silent Hill: Ascension is a new interactive streaming service where viewers and the community can shape the canon of Silent Hill. Ascension aims to immerse participants in the psychological horror of Silent Hill in a unique way – by putting all new characters and story in the hands of the audience.
Return to Silent Hill
Return to Silent Hill is a new film project that will be directed by Christophe Gans, who directed the first Silent Hill film in 2006.
And that is everything that was revealed during the Silent Hill Transmission event. Three new games an interactive streaming series and a new film. Silent Hill fans have a lot to look forward to in the near future.
