Konami is working with a "prominent" Japanese studio on a new Silent Hill game planned for a Summer reveal, according to a new report from VGC.

This comes amidst speculation that Bloober Team, the Polish studio behind The Medium, is also working with Konami on a Silent Hill project. Though, that speculation seems to exclusively stem from comments made by Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno in a new interview with GIBiz, where he suggests the studio's next horror project is from an existing IP and says it's coming from a "very famous" publisher.

It should be noted that Konami has described the rumors of a new Silent Hill game as "not true," while adding that it isn't "closing the door on the franchise."

"We're aware of all the rumors and reports but can confirm that they are not true," A Konami rep wrote in an email to Rely on Horror. "I know it's not the answer your fans may want to hear ... It's not to say we are completely closing the door on the franchise, just not in the way it is being reported."

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
