Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Bloober Signs Deal for Another Game for Konami — Could It Be More Silent Hill?

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 intellectual properties. While specifics remain undisclosed, Bloober's horror game expertise and the remake's impressive 2 million sales suggest another Silent Hill title is highly probable. Konami will retain publishing and rights ownership.

Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno's statement highlights the collaborative success: Konami sought a partner to revitalize a flagship franchise, selecting Bloober Team for their horror storytelling prowess. The Silent Hill 2 remake, lauded for capturing the original's atmosphere while incorporating innovative elements, achieved critical acclaim (86/100 Metacritic, 88/100 OpenCritic) and numerous awards, including IGN Japan's Game of the Year 2024. This success solidified the partnership, leading to the new project agreement, aligning with Bloober Team's strategic expansion. While details are scarce, Babieno expressed confidence in the project's potential to excite fans.

The Silent Hill 2 remake, released October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam), rapidly sold over one million copies within days, potentially setting a new sales record for the franchise (pending Konami's confirmation). IGN's review awarded it an 8/10, praising its ability to evoke dread.
