But conflicting reports suggest his studio is working with Xbox

One of the rumoured new Silent Hill games is reportedly in development at Kojima Productions.

Last week, a report stated that "multiple" Silent Hill games were in development, to be revealed next year as part of Konami's attempt to re-establish itself as a premium game developer. That report stated that one of the new games was being developed by a "prominent" Japanese Studio, which Gematsu claims is Kojima Productions.

That might make sense, as Kojima Productions is certainly a prominent Japanese studio. Kojima himself has previously worked on the franchise as the director of Silent Hills, the planned next installment in the horror series that was cancelled in 2015 in the midst of Kojima's departure from Konami.

While the public falling-out between Kojima and Konami could mean it's unlikely the developer would want to work with the company in future, his experience with the Silent Hill franchise could prove valuable. As ever with leaks of this nature, take this information with a pinch of salt until we learn more from the parties involved.

Whether you're celebrating Silent Hill or just getting spooky with the season, here are some of the best horror games on offer right now.
