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 undisclosed, Bloober's horror expertise and the remake's two million sales strongly suggest another entry in the Silent Hill franchise is highly probable. Konami will retain publishing and rights ownership.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the collaborative success: Konami sought a partner to revitalize a flagship franchise, selecting Bloober Team for their prowess in atmospheric horror storytelling. The Silent Hill 2 remake, critically acclaimed (86/100 Metacritic, 88/100 OpenCritic), garnered numerous awards, including IGN Japan's Game of the Year 2024. This success paved the way for the new project, aligning with Bloober Team's strategic expansion within a first-party framework. Babieno expressed confidence in the upcoming project, promising an exciting experience for fans.

The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam), quickly sold over one million copies within days of launch, potentially setting a new sales record for the franchise (pending Konami's confirmation). IGN's review awarded the remake an 8/10, praising its immersive horror experience.
