Well, it looks like Silent Hill is about to make an enormous comeback after lying dormant for over a decade. Fingers crossed, anyway.
On Sunday, Konami announced the Silent Hill Transmission is happening Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022, at 2:00 P.M. PDT // 5:00 P.M. EDT // 9:00 P.M. GMT on the publisher’s official website here. As for what the announcement will entail — we have no idea. Though everyone’s hoping it’ll be a new game.
“In your restless dreams, do you see that town,” Konami said on Twitter. “The latest updates for the Silent Hill series will be revealed during the Silent Hill Transmission.”

There have been countless rumors of new Silent Hill projects over the past two years. Most recently, an all-new mainline entry, a remake of Silent Hill 2, and some kind of small-scale spinoff allegedly by Annapurna Interactive. Don’t take any rumor as gospel, of course, but something video game related is almost certainly coming. Last month, South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) rated a game called Silent Hill: The Short Message. So yeah, we (probably) are seeing that soon.
All of this is a pretty big deal since Silent Hill is a dead franchise for all intents and purposes. The last installment was Silent Hill: Book of Memories, which came out on Oct. 16, 2012, exclusively for PlayStation Vita. While probably not intentional – the Silent Hill Transmission news came precisely ten years after the series’ last game. Wild stuff.
