Bloober Team, fresh off the success of its Silent Hill 2 remake, has announced a new partnership with Konami to develop a game based on one of Konami's intellectual properties. While neither company has revealed the title or franchise, Bloober's horror expertise and the remake's two million sales strongly suggest another entry in the Silent Hill series. Konami will act as both publisher and rights holder for this undisclosed project.
Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the collaborative success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, citing its critical acclaim (86/100 on Metacritic, 88/100 on OpenCritic) and numerous awards, including IGN Japan's Game of the Year 2024. He emphasizes that the remake's success built trust, leading to this new agreement, which aligns with Bloober Team's strategic growth plan. While details remain scarce, Babieno expresses confidence that fans will be thrilled with the upcoming collaboration.
The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam), rapidly sold one million copies within days of launch, potentially setting a new sales record for the franchise (pending official confirmation from Konami). IGN's review awarded the remake an 8/10, praising it as a compelling experience for both newcomers and longtime fans. The game's success has undoubtedly bolstered Konami's renewed focus on the Silent Hill franchise, with Silent Hill f, Silent Hill: Townfall, and a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 currently in development. PC modders are also actively enhancing the Silent Hill 2 remake with various modifications.
The mystery surrounding Bloober Team's new Konami project remains. Is it a remake of a classic Silent Hill title, or an entirely new installment? Only time will tell. For those navigating the Silent Hill 2 remake, resources such as walkthroughs, ending guides, key location guides, and New Game+ information are readily available.
