If you’d told me five years ago that Silent Hill would be back with one of the best remakes of the decade, as well as one of the best new survival horror games — I probably wouldn’t have believed you. But now it looks like Silent Hill’s meteoric rise back to prominence isn’t anywhere near done, as we already have confirmation of the next game. Bloober Team, the same studio behind Silent Hill 2 remake, will be applying its talent to the very first Silent Hill, with another full-blown remake. After seeing what they did with the second game, I’m fully in on Bloober Team having full reign to reimagine the series’ inception point.
Although a Silent Hill remake was briefly teased by Konami earlier this year, full confirmation comes from Bloober’s own investor call. As reported by Eurogamer, during the call, Bloober team CEO Piotr Babieno and Vice President Karolina Nowak commented on the studio’s current slate, saying, “We have two first-party production teams, one of which is working on Silent Hill 1, and the other has begun work on a second project.”
