Like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, Konami and Bloober Team are back in action together. Bloober Team announced that it will continue its partnership with the Japanese publisher working on a new project.
“The trust built upon the success of Silent Hill 2 laid the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project,” the announcement read. And while the new project will be something based on Konami’s IP, the two companies did not share if the next game will be another Silent Hill or something else from Konami’s back catalogue. (Hey, just thinkin’ out loud here, but when was the last Castlevania game released? 2014? Oh, OK.)
Konami and Bloober Team paired up in 2022 when the companies announced they would be collaborating on a remake of Silent Hill 2. Due to lukewarm reviews of Bloober’s original horror game The Medium, there was skepticism that the studio would be able to pull off a remake of one of the most celebrated survival horror games of its time. But Silent Hill 2 launched to rave reviews and sales making it the fastest selling entry in the Silent Hill series.
Beyond Bloober Team, Konami is also working on a new, non-remake Silent Hill game named Silent Hill F that it debuted in 2022 but has since provided scant updates. There’s also a movie adaptation of Silent Hill 2 in the works with Christophe Gans, the director of the first (not great!) Silent Hill movie, tapped to direct.
