Rumors regarding a newSilent Hillgame being in development are running rampant. Until now, however, most of the rumors haven’t been particularly reliable. But the newestSilent Hillleak comes from one of 2020’s most prominent leakers and it’s certain to make fans of the franchise excited. According to the leak, a newSilent Hillgame is currently in development and is as far as a year and a half along. The leak confirms that the newSilent Hillis being made in partnership between Sony and Konami.
The leak comes from Dusk Golem via ResetEra. Dusk Golen is also known as AestheticGamer on Twitter, where they’veleaked a ton ofResident Eviland Capcom-related informationover the past several months.

That includes Keiichiro Toyama, the director of the originalSilent Hill.

Toyama had reportedly been wanting to make another horror game for some time. However, due to the limited amount of success of theSirenandGravity Rushseries, Sony’s willingness to give Toyama a substantial budget was limited. Around two years ago, Konami then began looking for developers for two differentSilent Hillprojects. Sony somehow managed to come away with a partnership, though Dusk Golem admits they don’t have further information about this.
Dusk Golem goes on to describe that Sony and Konami will be sharing development costs for thenewSilent Hillgame, but that they’ll share the profits, too. With Konami’s support, Sony is ensuring that Toyama gets a substantial budget. However, the budget is still going to be smaller than other games from Sony. Toyama apparently still has to prove himself.
In addition to Toyama, many others who previously worked onSilent Hillare back and involved with the new project. Names mentioned include Akira Yamaoka, composer for theSilent Hillfranchise, and Masahiro Ito, art director for bothSilent Hill 2and3and the monster designer for the original game.
Obviously, a lot of information remains to be shared about the potentialSilent Hillgame. Dusk Golem does have a few more details, such as that this firstSilent Hillproject may be unveiled in late 2020. They also insinuate they have more information to share, but haven’t been able to confirm it so they’re going to wait for a while. Perhaps it’s related to the secondSilent Hillgame that was mentioned. Perhaps it’s related to the rumors of aKojima ProductionsSilent Hillgame. Without official confirmation, it’s best to take all of thisSilent Hillnews with a grain of salt.
