The Silent Hill franchise has had some ups and downs over the past year. A new movie was announced, one with director Christophe Gans (who helmed the first Silent Hill movie) back behind the camera, alongside the news that a remake of Silent Hill 2 was en route, as well as a game called Silent Hill: Ascension, and Silent Hill: The Short Message. The rollout on Silent Hill: Ascension was very rocky, indeed, but fans remain onboard for further updates on this long-running franchise.
Well, they’re about to get more: according to our pals over at Bloody Disgusting, Konami will be holding another “Silent Hill Transmission” this Thursday, one that will provide us with fresh news about the various Silent Hill games in development as well as further information about Gans’ new Silent Hill movie.
Says Bloody Disgusting:
“It appears that Konami will finally provide fans with an update on several Silent Hill projects this Thursday with a new edition of Silent Hill Transmission this Thursday. The streamed event will kick off at 7:00pm ET, with updates on the current projects, a “deeper look” at the upcoming Return to Silent Hill film from Christophe Gans, and new merchandise.
The previous Silent Hill Transmission back in October 2022 brought us the official announcement of the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team, which reposted Konami’s X post for this new edition, so expect news on that front. Silent Hill f developer NeoBards Entertainment studio creative director Al Yang did the same thing, so that’s two follow-ups from last time.”
Surely Konami will also be updating us on the status of Silent Hill f during this same livestream (we think?), but no matter what it’ll be great to hear the latest on whatever’s going on in Pyramid Head’s world.
As previously reported, Christophe Gans’ Return to Silent Hill will follow…
“… James (Irvine), a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Anderson). When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil. As James descends deeper into the darkness, he encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new and begins to question his own sanity as he struggles to make sense of reality and hold on long enough to save his lost love.”
It’s been entirely too long since we had a good, new Silent Hill game to play, and just about as long since we’ve seen Silent Hill on the big screen. Tune in to the Konami YouTube channel this Thursday at 7PM EST to learn the latest, and do stay tuned for further updates on the franchise as they become available.
