Konami will return to the cursed town of Silent Hill for a new livestream event on Thursday, promising new looks at in-development games and the upcoming movie based on the venerable horror franchise. The latest Silent Hill Transmission will stream on May 30 at 4 p.m. PDT/7 p.m. EDT. You can watch it on the official Silent Hill YouTube channel.
The previous Silent Hill Transmission aired in 2022, and during that event, Konami revealed a long list of projects based on the Silent Hill franchise. That includes the remake of fan-favorite Silent Hill 2 from Bloober Team; a brand-new entry in the series called Silent Hill f; and Silent Hill: Townfall, a new game made in partnership with publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer No Code (Stories Untold, Observation).
Konami and its partners have released two Silent Hill projects since that 2022 livestream: Silent Hill: Ascension, a chaotic, crowdsourced interactive streaming series, and Silent Hill: The Short Message, a free game released for PlayStation 5.
Still to come is Christophe Gans’ promised return to directing a Silent Hill movie. Gans’ new movie, Return to Silent Hill, will closely follow the plot of Silent Hill 2, telling the story of James Sunderland’s tortured journey to the titular town to reunite with his late wife Mary. Actors Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw) will star respectively as James and “his one true love.” Anderson will likely portray both James’ wife Mary Shepherd-Sunderland and her mysterious doppelganger Maria.
