A few days ago, some rumours surfaced regarding the resurrection of the Silent Hill franchise. According to those rumours, Sony would purchase the IP from Konami. Furthermore, Kojima Productions was planning to work on a brand new Silent Hill game. However, Konami has debunked those rumours.
As a North American PR representative for Konami told RelyOnHorror, the team can confirm that these rumours are not true.
“We’re aware of all the rumors and reports but can confirm that they are not true. I know it’s not the answer your fans may want to hear.”
So there you have it everyone. No, Sony has not purchased the Silent Hill IP and no, the next Silent Hill game will not be exclusive to PS5. Also, Kojima Productions is not working on a Silent Hill game. Or at least that’s what Konami publicly claims at this point.
Lastly, Konami’s representative added:
“It’s not to say we are completely closing the door on the franchise, just not in the way it is being reported.”
Let’s just hope that the next Silent Hill game will not be a mobile game or a pachinko.

sony fanboys cant catch a break.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Take that $ony fanboys.
$ony fanboys are about to have a heart attack because of this news HAHAHAHA!
is there such a thing as a PC fanboy?
horizon zero dawn is coming to pc.
it’s a great game, deserves more recognition, PC will give it that.
Well rip another franchise dead in konami hands lol
Its Konami…nothing to expect from them..
Good.
the way he said it makes it sound like they are not even developing a SH title. let alone titleS
and what was that that pissed you ff sony fanboy?
am I supposed to be offended? :))
how very childishly cute
also by the way how did you get from THAT to THIS?
‘that’ being my comment ‘this’ being your little outburst?
I didn’t even mention Sony for God’s sake :)) I am merely mad at Konami for being unfair to the game’s fan base
you are the only one that downvoted my comment.
yes, I had also upvoted your other comment because it deserved it. that’s what the mechanism is for. but it seems you care too much about such things
downvote me, maybe you’ll feel better
NO
Bidding just opened up for the highest price. 🙂
:))
Being it’s Konami, this should have been a given. You’d have to pry any IP from their cold, dead hands.
Secondly, look at Death Stranding. That’s a Kojima game made 100% to his vision, with nobody in his way. Do you “really” want this guy making a Silent Hill game? I wouldn’t trust neither Konami, or Kojima, to make a proper Silent Hill game.
The world hasn’t seen a proper Silent Hill game, in 16 years now, and we won’t be seeing another one anytime soon. It sucks, but that’s just way it is.
I want to see a new Silent Hill Game but you’re right hell will probably freeze over before that happens.
Ya, I’m with ya. Silent Hill was one of my all-time favourites. Sucks to see it left to rot in the hands of Konami.
after metal gear solid each game was worse than the last one.
We may see a similar game with another name…
one PES a year! but God forbid if the fans want a sequel or at least a remake.
wow, unexpected
Konami debunks the recent Sony PS5 Sillent Hill rumours: “they are not true”
Off course,probally ps fanboys planted this fake news for hype PS5 launch.
Looks like someone reverted his wish to the monkey’s paw.
Thank goodness. i need this title to be a multiplat not tied down to one platform. Bring them to pc. lolll
You’re pretty brain damaged if you think Konami will ever make a proper game again.
A Sony acquisition was probably the only hope to get anything good out of this franchise.
“It’s not to say we are completely closing the door on the franchise, just not in the way it is being reported.”
Translation: more SH pachinko machines.
Classic Konami
