After so many months full of rumors and leaks, in the end, Konami has finally decided to come out and launch an important announcement regarding the imminent reveal event for the Silent Hill franchise on October 17, 2022. Now, many renowned journalists and insiders are hinting that multiple Silent Hill games could be announced at the same event. Check out the complete details below.
Multiple Silent Hill Games Could Be Announced by Konami
On Wednesday 19 October, we will be able to attend a new presentation event from Konami that will reveal the future of the famous horror saga, Silent Hill, which could also include a much-talked-about remake of the second chapter.
In fact, the VGC journalist Andy Robinson has reported that many new projects seem to be coming, among which there would also be the long-awaited Silent Hill 2 Remake. On the other hand, a playable teaser would also be expected, – it could be the mysterious The Short Message leaked in recent weeks – and new plans to make a real sequel.
It also seems that Bloober Team is involved, but Robinson has not been able to confirm whether or not they are involved in Silent Hill 2 Remake. What we do know is that a demo would have actually been made by the development team, although we cannot of course say with certainty if this will confirm their involvement in the final product or if they will help with new titles.
A playable teaser, SH2 remake, and plans for a full sequel in future seem to be on the cards. Bloober Team appears to be involved, but I've received conflicting reports on if it's for SH2's remake or not

The journalist also reported that the artist Masahiro Ito seems to have confirmed his involvement in the new project. In addition, the insider DuskGolem would have confirmed this suggestion and indicated that composer Akira Yamaoka would also be ready to return.
Also if anyone wants additional proof that Masahiro Ito & Akira Yamaoka are involved in the revival for the Silent Hill series, not only have they both retweeted the stream announcement, they both have also made separate tweets to draw attention to them. pic.twitter.com/VAZw1cBezi

The insider also points out that none of the projects currently in development would be a reboot. So, fans should therefore not worry about possible distortions to the story, but simply wait for the announcement of new games that would have already been confirmed by ESRB and PEGI.
You don't have to worry about that. What I know about the current projects doesn't seem like a reboot at all. I agree I don't think SH needs it, all SH needs is good games. https://t.co/dCsePicggL

I guess the European rating board is faster than the ERSB. XD; Especially as South Korea also already rated Short Message. https://t.co/McNBO0YM7x

Of course, we can only invite you to take everything reported here with a grain of salt, waiting for Konami to officially reveal what all titles are in production. In a few days, we will be able to officially discover the future of Silent Hill which, apparently, seems to be decidedly light.
