[Update:It looks like the gamehas been outright canceled, but there’s this tidbit — “In terms of Kojima and Del Toro being involved, discussions on futureSilent Hillprojects are currently underway, and please stay tuned for further announcements.”]
The last few weeks have not been looking good forSilent Hills.Kojima’s name was stripped fromP.T., a voice actress claimed Kojima had been fired,Guillermo del Toro claimed the project has been cancelled,P.T.got delisted from PSNand just yesterday the game’s lead actor Norman Reedus suggested that he was no longer attached to the project. All the signs were that this was a corpse still managing to stumble around without a head or limbs.
Well, thanks to an official statement from Konami made toGameSpotwe finally have a slightly clearer idea what’s happening to the newSilent Hilltitle. At the very least, the version of the game we were teased at the end ofP.T.is no longer in the works.
“Our contract period with Reedus has expired. We will continue to develop the Silent Hill series.”
The fact that Konami are no longer referring to the game by its title ofSilent Hillsand has confirmed that its lead actor is no longer part of the project, it’s safe to assume thatSilent Hillsis on its way out the door. We may well still get aSilent Hillgame in the near future, but I would not hold my breath for the game you were expecting.
