The tweet links to a new Silent Hill website, which has no further information.

Masahiro Ito, who worked as monster designer and art director on the first three Silent Hill games, retweeted the announcement. Ito confirmed in 2020 that he was working as “a core member” of a development team on a new game. A piece of artwork signed by Ito appeared in a series of images that leaked earlier this year, purporting to be from a new Silent Hill game.

These images are said to relate to a P.T.-style playable teaser for a new, mainline Silent Hill. South Korea’s game ratings body recently rated a game called Silent Hill: The Short Message.

Also in the works, reportedly, is a remake of Silent Hill 2 made by Polish horror specialist Bloober Team (Layers of Fear), which announced a partnership with Konami last year. A third rumored project involves an episodic, story-focused series. Also, Christophe Gans, who directed the 2006 film Silent Hill, has said he’s working on the script for a third Silent Hill movie.
