Bloober Team, fresh off the success of their Silent Hill 2 remake, has announced a new partnership with Konami to develop a game based on one of Konami's intellectual properties. While neither company has revealed specifics regarding the title or franchise, given Bloober's horror expertise and the remake's two million sales, another Silent Hill entry seems highly probable. Konami will act as both publisher and rights holder for this upcoming project.
Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the collaborative success of the Silent Hill 2 remake: The remake's critical acclaim (86/100 on Metacritic, 88/100 on OpenCritic, and numerous Game of the Year awards) solidified the trust between the two companies, leading to this new agreement. Babieno emphasizes the shared knowledge and experience that fueled the high-quality production of the remake and expresses confidence in the upcoming project, promising something "truly special."
The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8th, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC (with an Xbox Series X|S release still unannounced), rapidly sold over one million copies within days of launch, potentially setting a new sales record for the franchise. IGN's review awarded the remake an 8/10, praising its ability to effectively recreate the terrifying atmosphere of the original.
The success of the remake significantly bolsters Konami's ongoing Silent Hill revitalization, which includes the currently-in-development Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall, as well as an upcoming film adaptation of Silent Hill 2. The PC version has also seen impressive community modding efforts, ranging from cosmetic changes to significant gameplay alterations.
The mystery surrounding Bloober Team's new Konami project remains. Will it be a remake of a classic Silent Hill title, or an entirely new installment in the franchise? Only time will tell. For those currently navigating the chilling world of the Silent Hill 2 remake, helpful resources including a walkthrough, ending guide, key location guide, and New Game+ information are readily available.
