Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Bloober Signs Deal for Another Game for Konami — Could It Be More Silent Hill?

ign.com:

Bloober Team has announced it has signed a deal with Konami to make a new game based on the Japanese company’s IP, following the successful release of the Silent Hill 2 remake.

While neither Bloober nor Konami said what the game is, or which franchise it’s in, given Bloober’s expertise with horror games and the success of the 2 million-selling Silent Hill 2 remake, another Silent Hill game of some type seems likely. Bloober said Konami will continue as both the publisher and rights holder of the mystery game.

Here’s the official blurb from Bloober CEO Piotr Babieno:

Silent Hill 2 remake went on sale on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on October 8, 2024 (there’s no word on an Xbox Series X and S version yet), and just a few days later had sold one million copies. This was thought to have made Silent Hill 2 remake the fastest-selling Silent Hill game ever, but Konami has yet to rubber stamp that potential record.

IGN’s Silent Hill 2 remake review returned an 8/10. We said: “Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror.”

The sales success of the Silent Hill 2 remake has clearly strengthened Konami’s plans for the franchise, which have ramped up significantly in recent years. Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are both still in the works, but perhaps Konami will also continue to remake past Silent Hill games. There's a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 coming, too. And modders are doing eye-catching things with the Silent Hill 2 remake on PC, including removing hair sheen, the game’s famous fog, and even turning it into Sunny Hills.

The question now is, what is this new Bloober game for Konami? If it’s a new Silent Hill game, is it a remake of a previous game, or a brand new game in the franchise?
