In a statement, neither party clarified the details of the project, but confirmed it was a game based on Konami's intellectual property, and Konami will retain its publisher rights.
Bloober's "horror and atmospheric storytelling" expertise made it a fitting collaborator when Konami sought a partner to "breathe new life into one of its most iconic franchises - Silent Hill," with the "trust built upon the success of Silent Hill 2 la[ying] the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project."
Bloober said the deal also aligns with its strategic plan to expand its "development division within a first-party framework."
"Our collaboration with Konami has been incredibly fruitful, and the success of Silent Hill 2 speaks for itself," said Bloober CEO, Piotr Babieno.
"By sharing knowledge and experience, we have been able to create high-quality production together. Of course, we can't reveal too many details at this time, but we are confident that fans will be just as excited about our collaboration as we are. We can't wait to share something truly special with players when the time is right."
At the end of January, Konami confirmed Silent Hill 2 Remake - the first mainline Silent Hill game since 2012's Downpour - topped 2 million sales.
