There could be several moreSilent Hillgames in development that have yet to be revealed by Konami, according to one prominent leaker. TheSilent Hillfranchise is coming back in a big way. Konami made clear with the announcement of Bloober Team’sSilent Hill 2remake and several other titles that it’s back making games in a major way, but if one leaker is to be believed,Silent Hillfans haven’t even seen the full scope of Konami’s plans for the horror franchise.
In October, Konami hosted what it called theSilent HillTransmission. Konami used the video to announce not one, but four differentSilent Hillprojects (and a movie, too).Silent Hill Ascensionis an “interactive media” experience,Silent Hill 2is a remakeof the classic survival horror game,Silent Hill Townfallis a mysterious project from Stories Untold developer No Code, andSilent Hill fis an all-new main seriesSilent Hillproject set in Japan. It was a wave of announcements, more than anySilent Hillfan expected.

According to prominent leaker Dusk Golem, thefour officialSilent Hillannouncementsaren’t all that Konami has planned for the horror franchise. In a post on ResetEra, DuskGolem shared that there are “at least three Silent Hill projects” currently in development that have yet to be announced.
The post was made in a thread about therecently revealedSilent Hill: The Short Messagegame, which is yet another unannouncedSilent Hillproject. Dusk Golem’s threeSilent Hillproject do not include The Short Message, it should be clarified. The four confirmedSilent Hillgames, one leaked project inSilent Hill: The Short Message, and three as-yet-unannouncedSilent Hillgames makes eightSilent Hillprojects in various states of development right now.
Dusk Golem has a long history of leaks surrounding various gaming franchises,Resident Evilbeing their most prominent. The veracity of these leaks has long been in question. While many leaks have proven true, many others remain in question. It’s unclear if these leaks are inaccurate or plans have simply changed behind the scenes. Still,Silent Hillfans should probably focus on what’s official. It’s not like there isn’t plenty of confirmedSilent Hillnews for the time being.
What’s somewhat odd about the possibility of eightSilent Hillprojects being in development is that the horror franchise was never particularly big or successful. It is unclear whyKonami would make such a big pushforSilent Hill, especially as its first major return to franchises on hiatus. Perhaps the size and scope of theseSilent Hillprojects made the most material sense.Silent Hillfans will certainly be pleased, regardless.
