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 neither company has revealed the title or franchise, Bloober's horror expertise and the remake's two million sales strongly suggest another Silent Hill entry is likely. Konami will serve as both publisher and rights holder.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the successful collaboration: Konami sought a partner to revitalize a flagship franchise, selecting Bloober Team for their horror and atmospheric storytelling skills. The Silent Hill 2 remake, lauded for capturing the original's atmosphere while adding innovations, received critical acclaim (86/100 on Metacritic, 88/100 on OpenCritic) and 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. Babieno expressed confidence that fans will be thrilled with their upcoming collaboration.

The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam), quickly sold 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 ability to recreate the terrifying atmosphere of the original.
