Konami has today revealed that it is remaking the original Silent Hill 1 with Bloober Team (the development team behind the recently released Silent Hill 2 Remake) responsible for making the game.
The original Silent Hill was released for PlayStation in 1999 and we did already know before today that Konami and Bloober Team were working on a new game. It was unclear whether it would be in the Silent Hill franchise at all, but we now know it’s a remake of the original Silent Hill.
The announcement was made on Konami’s Press Start (ha) stream and then confirmed on Twitter below as well:
We gave Silent Hill 2 a 9/10 and said: “Silent Hill 2 is a great remake that captures the essence of the original game, expanding it in all the right ways without ruining the spirit of the original. While this is easily the best game Bloober has ever made, and perhaps even their scariest, simplistic combat is the only thing that keeps this horror epic from reaching its true potential. Regardless, this Silent Hill 2 remake is everything you could hope for and more, and hopefully, a sign of great things to come for the series. It’s a clever and inventive expansion of the original that you wouldn’t know you needed……until now”
