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 iconic IPs. While specifics remain under wraps, Bloober's expertise in horror and the phenomenal reception of the Silent Hill 2 remake (selling 2 million copies) strongly suggest another entry in the Silent Hill franchise is in the works. Konami will serve as both publisher and rights holder for this mystery project.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno shared this statement:

Konami, a legendary name in gaming, sought a partner to revitalize one of its most iconic franchises—Silent Hill. Bloober Team was chosen for our expertise in horror and atmospheric storytelling. Our 2021 partnership led to the Silent Hill 2 remake announcement in October 2022. The remake's success, boasting an 86/100 Metacritic and 88/100 OpenCritic score, along with numerous awards including IGN Japan's Game of the Year 2024 and the IGN Community Awards' Best Horror Game of the Year, solidified our collaboration. This success paved the way for a new project agreement, aligning with Bloober Team's strategic plan for internal development expansion. Our collaboration with Konami has been incredibly fruitful, and the Silent Hill 2 remake's success speaks for itself. We've shared knowledge and experience to create high-quality productions. While details are scarce, we're confident fans will be thrilled. We eagerly anticipate sharing something truly special.

The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam (with Xbox Series X|S release yet to be announced), sold one million copies within days of launch, potentially setting a new record for fastest-selling Silent Hill title. IGN awarded the remake an 8/10, praising it as a "great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."

The nature of Bloober's new Konami project remains a mystery. Is it a remake of a classic title, or an entirely new chapter in the Silent Hill saga? Only time will tell.
