The Silent Hill Transmission stream is set for broadcast today at 2pm PT/5pm ET/10pm BST, where several new titles in the Silent Hill series will be revealed. The waiting room for the stream went live on YouTube, and fans quickly found some interesting details about what games are going to be showcased.
First of all, in the stream’s description, there was a now removed section labeled “Silent Hill 2”, followed by a prompt for the PlayStation Store, but no link had been inserted. It’s assumed that this link will be filled in once the stream is broadcast and the store page is live. This comes after several screenshots of a remake leaked online last month, with the game supposedly being made by Bloober Team.
That’s not all though, as after they’d found that little nugget, fans dug deeper and looked into the metadata for the stream. There, in the tags for the stream, they found an interesting list. The full list of tags are:
- KONAMI
- SILENT HILL 2
- SILENT HILL
- PlayStation
- Steam
- SILENT HILL Transmission
- SILENT HILL f
- Ascension
- SILENT HILL: Ascension
- Return to SILENT HILL
- Teaser Trailer
- Interview
Most of those are to be expected, but two stand out as the titles of potential new games. Silent Hill: Ascension and Return to Silent Hill both hold a lot of promise, even if we don’t know what form these games will take. Based on previous rumors, one might be developed by Annapurna Interactive, with the game taking an episodic format. On top of that, there’s word that one of the games might be developed in Japan, which would explain why several of the original Silent Hill team have been promoting this stream on Twitter.
There is also “Silent Hill f” in there, which doesn’t seem to make any sense, and may very well just be a typo. However, you can never be sure, and there may be more in store than we’re expecting when the event goes live later today.
