With Bloober Team having been announced as the studio working on a remake of the original Silent Hill just last month, a new report indicates that work on the remake has been going on for around three years. According to industry insider and known leaker AestheticGamer (also known as Dusk Golem), a release calendar has been well in place at Konami for its revival of the Silent Hill franchise.
“Silent Hill 1 Remake as far as I know started dev around 3 years ago roughly,” wrote AestheticGamer on social media platform X. He also went on to note that the schedule currently looks like it might have been a bit delayed because Silent Hill f needed some more time. Ultimately, he believes that we’ll see Silent Hill: Townfall come out next year, followed by the Silent Hill 1 Remake the year after that.
“If I had to take a guess at the Silent Hill game release schedule (all subject to change at the whims of game dev, Hell this whole OG plan was delayed by a couple of years+f & Townfall switched places as an example, & honestly good on Konami not just rushing them out & giving them time to cook), but right now if I had to guess based on the current situation it’d be; 2025: Silent Hill f (obviously), 2026: Townfall, 2027: Silent Hill 1 Remake, 2028: Internal SH Game,” he wrote.
Konami had confirmed that Bloober Team would be working on the remake of the original Silent Hill back in June. The news came as no surprise considering the critical and commercial success seen by Silent Hill 2 Remake, which had come out last year. Both companies had already confirmed that they would be working together more going forward back in February.
“By sharing knowledge and experience, we have been able to create high-quality production together,” said Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno about working with Konami on more projects. “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.”
Back in October, game director and designer at Bloober Team, Wojciech Piejko, had spoken about how the studio was open to working on more Silent Hill games with Konami in the future, be it another remake of a classic game in the franchise, or a brand new entry in the series.
“I think we are always open,” said Piejko. “If we like the opportunity, we’ll take it. There are opportunities that you have to seize,” he added. “Like Silent Hill 2, you can remake the legend. So yeah, I do believe that everything’s possible.”
The original Silent Hill came out all the way back in 1999 for the original PlayStation. The story of the game revolves around Henry Mason and his daughter Cheryl, who were on their way to the resort town of Silent Hill for a vacation. Things, however, start going wrong when Harry swerves his car out of the way to avoid hitting a girl standing in the middle of the road, and when he recovers, finds his daughter missing.
