Spoilers within, naturally
Konami might have just accidentally leaked the reveal of one of the newSilent Hillgames due to be announced later this evening. Earlier this week, the publisher announced there would be aSilent Hill Transmission streamtaking place today, October 19th, which would provide “the latest updates” on the series. At the time, there were no streaming links available, but in setting their YouTube page live this morning, Konami jumped the gun and included some of the game names being revealed. And it’s the big one, folks. Spoilers within, obvs.
The page also makes reference to theSouvenir Shop “Sweet Factory”, which was a location inSilent Hill 3, suggesting there might be quite a few announcements lined up for this evening’s stream. Other Twitter users have also scoured the page’s meta data to reveala third and maybe even fourth potential Silent Hill gamebeing announced later as well, with PlayStation and Steam releases mentioned in the mix, too - excellent news for long-suffering Silent Hill fans on PC.
There have been plenty of Silent Hill rumours doing the rounds in the last few months. The big one is that Layers Of Fear devBloober Team is doing a Silent Hill 2 remake, but there’s also been talk of acompletely new entryin the series that might be set in the UK. It’s possible one or both of these will finally get confirmed later on this evening - after all, the director of Konami’s upcoming Silent Hill film did let slip thatmultiple Silent Hill games are in developmentright now, so tonight’s stream is looking to be a must-watch for fans of the series.
I’m too much of a scaredy cat to have played much Silent Hill. I played Silent Hill 2 many years after the fact and enjoyed its moody mistscapes and tense chases with my old pal Pyramid Head, but Silent Hill 4 and its creepy bunny rabbit is just one of thosehorror gamesthat freaked me out too much as a teen for me to ever go back to it.
Despite all that, I am intrigued to see what else Konami have got up their Silent Hill sleeve this evening, and you can watch the stream in full onYouTubeor its dedicatedportal sitefrom 10pm BST / 2pm PT.
