“I’m working with the Silent Team, the original creators at Konami, there are several games in development as we speak,” Gans toldMovie & Game. “There are several teams on it, with a big line of games, they will revive the franchise. I think they were really impressed of the success of the remakes ofResident Evilthat are evidently exceptional games.”

The director wasn’t shy about his involvement with Konami but, when asked, also acknowledged that Layers Of Fear devs Bloober Team are working on a remake ofSilent Hill 2. Gans is currently putting together a follow-up to his earlier Silent Hill movie, sixteen years on.

Although there’s nothing concrete yet, there have been some rumblings that Konami are planning a return to the classic psychological horror series with a new Silent Hill game of some kind. Rumours were circulating this time last year that the company was looking atreviving Silent Hill, along withMetal Gearand Castlevania. Most recently, blurry images emerged last month of what appear to be early takes on aSilent Hill 2 remakepotentially in development at Bloober Team.

If nothing ever emerges from the fog then at least there’s the ever-improvingSilent Hill 2: Enhanced Editionproject aiming to make that game playable on modern machines. We’re still waiting for official confirmation from Konami that they’re working on another Silent Hill. Rest assured, I’ll let you know if they ever do.
