Konami and Bloober Team Officially Announced Remake of the Original Silent Hill
Image via: Konami 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.
