Konami Confirms SILENT HILL 1 Remake with Bloober Team — GeekTyrant
Konami isn't done resurrecting Silent Hill projects. During their latest Press Start showcase, the publisher officially confirmed that the original Silent Hill (1999) is getting a full remake, and the team behind the recent Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team, is developing the game. The reveal came via a brief but haunting teaser, with music pulled straight from the original game, a nod to longtime fans who know exactly what that tune signals. Originally released in 1999, Silent Hill introduced players to Harry Mason, a father searching for his missing adopted daughter, Cheryl, in the fog-drenched, cult-riddled town of Silent Hill. What starts as a desperate search slowly unravels into something far more disturbing, as Harry is pulled into a world of occult rituals and psychological horror. I stayed up all night with a friend of mine playing this game, and it scared the hell out of us, and it was one of my most memorable gaming experiences. The game was the foundation for what would become one of gaming's most iconic horror franchises, and while Silent Hill 2 tends to get all the critical love, the original game's eerie storytelling and dread-soaked design laid the groundwork. It makes sense that Konami and Bloober would want to bring new players back to where it all started—especially if the plan is to revisit Silent Hill 3 , which is directly tied to the first game's narrative. While the announcement didn't include a release date, the renewed partnership between Bloober Team and Konami seems to signal a long-term investment in Silent Hill's legacy. As for what's coming next, Silent Hill f is still on track for release on September 25, 2025. That standalone entry follows Shimizu Hinako as she fights off horrifying creatures in a twisted version of the fictional Japanese town Ebisugaoka. It promises a very different flavor of horror, but with the same mind-bending atmosphere the franchise is known for. Watch the trailer below. It starts at the 35:26 timestamp.

Konami and Bloober Team working on a remake of Silent Hill 1: What we know
Japanese video game developer Konami has announced a remake of Silent Hill 1, which is a 1999 survival horror video game. The developer at Konami Press Start Live showcase revealed that this remake is officially in development at Bloober Team, the developer that handled the Silent Hill 2 remake. As of now, no release date has been announced for the game. The showcase also featured a spotlight on Silent Hill F, the upcoming instalment in the franchise, which is scheduled to release on September 25. Marking a first for the series, this chapter is set in Japan. During the segment, the developers offered insight into the game's creative process, revealing the inspirations behind its eerie design. Judging by what was shown, the game promises a deeply unsettling experience. Silent Hill 1: What is it? Silent Hill (1999) is a psychological survival-horror game developed by Team Silent and published by Konami for the PlayStation platform. Players control Harry Mason, an ordinary father searching for his missing adopted daughter, Cheryl, in the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill. The game uses a third-person perspective with fixed camera angles and cleverly utilises darkness and thick fog to mask the graphics while amplifying tension. Players navigate the eerie environment, solve puzzles, manage scarce ammunition, and fend off grotesque monstrosities using a limited arsenal of melee and ranged weapons. Critically acclaimed as a defining title in the survival-horror genre, Silent Hill was praised for its atmospheric storytelling and emotional depth. Rather than relying on jump scares or action-heavy sequences, it delivers a pervasive sense of dread through sound design, unsettling visuals, and a haunting storyline involving a cult performing dark rituals. The narrative offers multiple endings based on in-game decisions, ranging from terrifying to unexpectedly quirky, setting a precedent for deeper, choice-driven horror experiences.

Silent Hill returns: Konami announces plans for the horror game franchise's comeback
Silent Hill is officially back. Konami has finally confirmed the long-rumoured remake of Silent Hill, setting off excitement among horror fans around the world. While Silent Hill 2's remake is already deep in development, the surprise reveal of a Silent Hill 1 remake signals something even bigger. Konami is not just revisiting its horror legacy, but they are rebuilding it from the ground up. The first Silent Hill originally came out in 1999 on the PlayStation and changed the horror genre with its fog-filled atmosphere, eerie storytelling and disturbing monsters. Now, fans will get to see that iconic game through a modern lens. Whether it sticks closely to the classic PS1 roots or includes new ideas from later games like Shattered Memories, the new version is shaping up to be both a love letter to the past and a terrifying new experience. A scary step into the past The dense fog returns!We are thrilled to announce that a #SILENTHILL remake project is in the works at Bloober Team, developed in close cooperation with our friends from @Konami!#KONAMI #BlooberTeam While the visuals and mechanics will be updated for new consoles, Konami wants to keep the original spirit alive. That means twisted puzzles, psychological horror, and a town full of fog and fear.

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.
