Christophe Gans, director of the first Silent Hill movie in 2006 and also the director of an upcoming third film, has said there are multiple Silent Hill games in production. None of these have been announced but they are genuinely the worst kept ‘secret’ in gaming at the moment.
“I’m working with the Silent Team, the original creators at Konami, there are several games in development as we speak,” he said in an interview with MaG and translated by ResetEra, “There are several teams on it, with a big line of games, they will revive the franchise, I think they were really impressed of the success of the remakes of Resident Evil that are evidently exceptional games.”
“I know a bit about the [next Silent Hill game]. I work with the Silent Team, the original creators. I work in collaboration with Konami.” he continued. “I’m not working directly on the games but I’m working with Konami but not with Kojima, tho, but with the Silent Team who I met when I filmed the first Silent Hill movie. And they’re still here”
So that seems to confirm Silent Team are at least involved with one of the games but Kojima is not, so no Silent Hills revival. Gans also confirms that Bloober Team are working on a Silent Hill 2 Remake.
A few weeks ago a new Silent Hill game appeared on the South Korean ratings board, prompting speculation that an announcement may soon follow.
The surprise listing (via Gematsu) notes this new title as being called “Silent Hill: The Short Message” with UNIANA mentioned as the publisher. For context, this is the same company responsible for bringing other Konami games to South Korea, including the upcoming eFootball 2023. In the past, games have had their titles and release windows leaked by ratings board.
There have also been leaks of proof of concept screens, and endless rumours such as this one, this one, this one, and this one.
