Introduction to New Project

Konami and Bloober Team, the studio behind last year’s successful Silent Hill 2 remake, have decided to extend their partnership. This collaboration will result in a new title based on Konami’s intellectual property. Given Bloober Team’s expertise in developing horror games, it is likely that this new project will be a fresh entry in the Silent Hill series, although there is also a possibility that it could be a Castlevania game. An intriguing alternative could be a horror-themed iteration of a classic franchise, such as Bomberman.

Details of the Partnership

According to the companies, "The trust built upon the success of Silent Hill 2 laid the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project." This agreement aligns with Bloober Team’s strategic plan to expand its internal development division within a first-party framework. As part of the deal, Konami will retain the rights to the upcoming game and will be responsible for its publication.

Background and Success of Silent Hill 2 Remake

The Silent Hill 2 remake was released in early October and achieved significant commercial success, selling over 2 million copies by the end of January. The game received widespread critical acclaim and earned several nominations at The Game Awards. Additionally, it was among Engadget’s favorite games of 2024.

Future of Silent Hill Series

If Bloober Team is indeed working on a new Silent Hill game, it will not be the only title in the series currently in development. Two other Silent Hill games, Silent Hill Townfall from Annapurna Interactive and No Code, and Silent Hill f from Ryūkishi07, were announced in 2022 but have yet to be released. The future of the Silent Hill series looks promising, with multiple projects underway, each potentially offering a unique perspective on the horror genre.
