Konami and Bloober Team Officially Announced Remake of the Original Silent Hill
In a long-awaited move, Konami has officially announced a full remake of the original Silent Hill (1999), entrusting the project to Bloober Team. The surprise announcement, which took place as part of Konami's 'Press Start' digital showcase, saw a fog-drenched teaser accompanied by the iconic score of Akira Yamaoka welcoming gamers back to the origin point of psychological survival horror.
Though the announcement lacked a potential release window, or which platforms it will support, it's an exciting new chapter for the franchise. Fresh off reimagining Silent Hill 2 to critical acclaim for its visual score and emotional depth, Bloober Team is now set to reimagine the game that first established the town's terrifying mood.
Bloober Team and Konami: A Growing Partnership
The partnership between Bloober Team and Konami seems to be developing into a permanent bond.
Earlier this year, Bloober CEO Piotr Babieno highlighted the strength of this partnership, mentioning it 'incredibly fruitful.' He hinted that the studios are collaborating on 'something really amazing,' but kept his cards close about the details.
For starters, the game is nearly 30 years old, quite an achievement considering the state of horror games that spend a couple of dedicated months between development and release.
Returning to the first entry is the most logical move narratively. It is a true sequel to the first game, so trailing back and remaking the original lays a much stronger foundation for any potential future remake.
Curiously, Silent Hill has been through this cycle once before. 2009's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories reinterpreted the original for the Wii with psychological profiling and an adapted narrative. Whether Bloober's upcoming remake will draw from that reimagining or stick more closely to the 1999 PlayStation classic is still to be seen.
BREAKING!! Silent Hill 1 Remake CONFIRMED by Konami!!
What's Next for the Franchise?
With Silent Hill due to release this September and Bloober Team's very own sci-fi horror adventure Cronos: The New Dawn coming out this Autumn too, all may be waiting a while for the new Silent Hill remake to reappear with major news. Yet, one thing is certain, Silent Hill is anything but silent.

‘Family is very important…he should never feel that I'm too far away': Inside the shared home of siblings Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem
Mostly, adult siblings often drift into separate lives and homes, but actors Huma Qureshi and Saqib Saleem have chosen something refreshingly different—they live together under one roof in Mumbai. 'What family brings to a person is something else… For me, that is home in Bombay, it is when, fortunately or unfortunately, when Huma's here, this is who I am and I am Saqib,' says Saqib, with his signature grin, adding, 'We've been staying together for the last seven years!' While many siblings prefer their independence, the duo has opted for closeness. Huma reflects, 'A lot of people get really surprised. You know, you can always have your own separate spaces. But I feel like family is very important… he should never feel that I'm too far away from him because that's just how we are as people.' The house they share is spacious yet personal, divided cleverly so that each sibling has their corner, while common areas bring them back together. 'We have like a big house—so he stays in one part, I stay in another part. It gets very, very annoying sometimes. But you won't want this person to be around you all the time,' jokes Huma. Their dining table, the heart of the house, tells its own story. 'Every chair on this table is different. I've lived in homes with distressed furniture, lots of colour, lots of textures—it is a little arty, but then we are little arty.' Saqib, on the other hand, has a more minimalist favourite: his TV and gaming room. 'That's my space in the house to be really honest. It's got a nice L-shaped couch, a big window with good light, and my PlayStation. I don't think a guy my age wants anything else but his PlayStation!' But if there's one area that both agree holds a piece of magic, it's their terrace. 'I like to sit there, have my coffee in the morning. Somehow it just feels like I'm outside the hustle-bustle of Bombay. You hear birds, early morning sounds, it's so peaceful.' Saqib adds, 'This is my terrace and this is my best friend. I spend most of my time here in the evenings. If you find your own fitness space within your house, nothing like it.' Huma's reading nook is a sanctuary filled with physical books. 'I love reading, I like to collect real books. My mom would take me to bookshops on my birthdays—I never wanted anything else. Even now, if you have to gift me something, just buy me a book.' Their love for home and family also shows up in fun ways. From teasing sibling dynamics to inside jokes, the warmth between them is evident. 'We have this vibe, we keep fighting with each other. We try to divide the room into teams: who will take whose side. Then later, Huma's always disappointed by the end of it!' laughs Saqib. And if their walls could talk? 'They would tell you… don't annoy Saqib in the morning!' quips Huma. Saqib adds: 'Despite all the madness, leg-pulling, fun, and banter, we're this really close, mad family.'

Wedding Turns Into Gaming Arena As Newlyweds Battle It Out With PlayStation
Last Updated: The video shows newlyweds smiling and clearly enjoying the moment. The guests behind them are equally engaged. Weddings today are becoming increasingly personal and unique, with couples finding creative ways to infuse their personalities into their big day. One recent viral video capturing hearts online does just that. It features a bride, a groom, and their shared love for video games. The clip, shared on Instagram, shows the bride and groom seated in a wedding hall, dressed in traditional outfits. Both of them are seen holding PlayStation controllers and facing a large projector screen. Guests also watch the screen closely. But here's the twist. Instead of the usual videos played at weddings, like pre-wedding shoots, the couple is shown playing a live game in front of everyone. A Gaming Battle The screen displays a PlayStation game that they are playing together at the venue. The video shows the newlyweds smiling and clearly enjoying the moment. The guests behind them are equally engaged. This change from the usual wedding schedule has caught many by surprise. The scene is set like any regular wedding, but the game adds something unexpected.

Viral Video Triggers All Kinds Of Reactions Ever since the footage appeared online, people have had a lot to say about it, with some viewers appreciating the moment. A user commented, 'Pretty wholesome." Another said, 'Winner stays on," while someone else expressed, 'That's a first. Nice one." But The Response Hasn't Been The Same From Everyone. Criticising the moment, a person wrote, 'What nonsense! How is this now becoming the norm? You've paid a lot of money for the event, probably invited people from all over to attend, to watch you play? I get there's an element of bride versus groom, etc, but why do it in this manner? Why not do it amongst your closest family/ friends when you're at home? Why at the venue? It amazes me to see this kind of stuff." An individual called it 'Cringe behaviour," while a viewer said, 'People will do anything for likes." Another Couple, Another Twist A few weeks back, another unique wedding moment, which was centred around fitness, went viral. In the middle of their wedding rituals, the groom challenged the bride to a round of push-ups.
