Konami’s Original Silent Hill Getting Official Remake Treatment by Blooper Team

The beloved original to the horror franchise is being remade by the team also responsible for 2024’s successful Silent Hill 2 remake.

An official remake of 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 by 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 1960s Japan. The title will be released on Sept. 25 and can be pre-purchased on PSN or Steam now.

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.
