Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Bloober Signs Deal for Another Game for Konami — Could It Be More Silent Hill?

Bloober Team, fresh off the success of their Silent Hill 2 remake, has announced a new partnership with Konami to develop a game based on one of Konami's intellectual properties. While specifics remain under wraps, Bloober's horror expertise and the remake's two million sales strongly suggest another Silent Hill title is in the works. Konami will act as both publisher and rights holder for this undisclosed project.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the collaborative success of the Silent Hill 2 remake: The remake's critical acclaim (86/100 on Metacritic, 88/100 on OpenCritic) and awards, including IGN Japan's Game of the Year 2024, solidified Bloober's position as a trusted partner. Babieno emphasizes the continued collaboration and shared knowledge between the two companies, promising an exciting new project for fans.

The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC (with Xbox Series X|S release yet to be announced), rapidly sold over one million copies within days of launch. While potentially the fastest-selling Silent Hill game ever, official confirmation from Konami is pending. IGN's review scored the remake an 8/10, praising its ability to effectively recreate the chilling atmosphere of the original.
