Konami's Original Silent Hill Getting Official Remake Treatment by Blooper Team
An official remake to the original 1999 Silent Hill video game is currently being developed by the same team behind the successful Silent Hill 2 remake last year. The title was announced as being in development at the very end of Thursday's Press Start game showcase, which showed off several upcoming games from Konami, including Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and more.
Though the original Silent Hill has seen adaptations in the form of 2009's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and the 2006 film adaptation, both were quick to take their liberties with the source material. This time, we'd expect that Blooper Team is working closely with Konami to deliver a faithful remake, just as was done with 2024's Silent Hill 2 remake. There's currently no time frame or release date available for the upcoming release.
The original Silent Hill follows Harry Mason in search of his missing 7 year-old daughter in the mysterious New England town of Silent Hill. Using only a town map and a half-broken handheld radio, Harry searches through the snowy, fog-leaden streets to find his daughter, and soon discovers her true connection to the sleepy, sinister town.
Launched as a direct competitor to Resident Evil, Silent Hill focuses on psychological horror and monsters manifested from the darkest corners of the mind from characters in the game. Unlike Resident Evil, protagonists in Silent Hill aren't typically trained in combat, but rather your everyday person who feels helpless, often using found objects as weapons throughout the game.
Prior to the announcement during the Press Start showcase, Konami dedicated nearly the last 10 minutes to the upcoming standalone title Silent Hill: f, which will be set in 1960's Japan. The title will be released on Sept. 25, and can be pre-purchased on PSN or Steam today.
Also headed our way from Blooper Team is Cronos: The New Dawn, which saw its release window and new gameplay footage during the Summer Game Fest earlier this month.

I've Run 54 runDisney Races—Here's What You Need to Know Before Signing Up
Did you know you can run through Walt Disney World and Disneyland? No, I'm not talking about racing to your favorite attractions at rope drop, though that can be a grueling race too. Both of the parks regularly host Disney races where you, along with thousands of other runners and Disney fans, can participate in distance runs through the most iconic theme parks in the world, complete with entertainment and characters along the course. Writer Megan duBois has run more than 50 runDisney races. Megan duBois I've completed 54 races with runDisney, from 5Ks to 'challenges,' in which I completed multiple race distances in one weekend. There's nothing like crossing the finish line, seeing Mickey and Minnie Mouse cheering you on, and knowing your body can do hard things. If you're thinking about shaking up your next trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, or Disneyland in Anaheim, California, by participating in one of the extremely popular races, there are some things you need to know. Keep reading to learn more about runDisney, including what types of races you can participate in, how to register, and what exactly race entry covers. Where are runDisney races held? There are four themed runDisney race weekends at Disney World. The season begins in October with the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, followed by the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend in January, the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend in February, and concludes with the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend in April. My favorite race at Disney World is the runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend, where the themes change every year. One year, I participated in throwback races, complete with a duo 5K and scavenger hunt through Disney's Animal Kingdom and a 10-miler themed to the Tower of Terror attraction, and another, I raced in a Guardians of the Galaxy—themed 5K. At the Disneyland Resort, there are currently two race weekends: the Disneyland Halloween Half Marathon Weekend in September and the Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend in January. Sadly, after the 2026 Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend, runDisney races at the Disneyland Resort will be paused due to construction projects for upcoming expansions. RunDisney also hosts virtual races, which runners can complete at home, with medals shipped to your doorstep. These include the runDisney Virtual Love on the Run 14-miler in spring and the runDisney Virtual Series in summer. The medals are an enticing enough reason to sign up for a Disney race. Aiden Craver What distances are available for each in-person race weekend? At Walt Disney World, the Disney Wine & Dine and Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekends offer you the chance to participate in a 5K, 10K, and half marathon. The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend adds a full marathon to the mix. The runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend offers a 5K, 10K, and 10-miler.
