Konami travaillerait sur trois projets Silent Hill

Il y a peu de temps, we reported on a trademark renewal for Konami’s Silent Hill IP. Bien sûr, while such a move is hardly confirmation of new entries to the franchise, there appears to be mounting evidence of new Silent Hill games releasing in the coming months and years.

According to our friends at VGC, Konami is working on not one, not two, mais Trois different Silent Hill projects. The first is a full sequel to the series, said to be in development by a Japanese studio. Notre site soeur Pousser carré reported on a series of images leaked by Twitter user AestheticGamer; images, attention, that were swiftly removed under a copyright claim. What’s notable is that one of the images is said to be a piece of concept art by none other than Masahiro Ito, known for his historical work on the Silent Hill franchise.

Considering this game is reported to be a full sequel, the likelihood of it arriving on Switch is admittedly slim, Point d'objection Exe. This might also be the case for Konami’s second project: plein Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team, famous for its work on Couches de peur et Le moyen. Reports point to this title being a potential timed exclusive to PlayStation consoles, so while we may see this one on Xbox at some point (assuming it’s real, bien sûr), a release on Switch is, nouveau, peu probable.

Our best bet might be in the form of Konami’s third project, which is said to be a smaller, episodic series of “short stories”. Publisher Annapurna Interactive is currently rumoured to be attached to the project, and is known for its previous work on games such as Coeurs sauvages de Sayonara, Kentucky Route Zero, et Douze minutes. Considering the smaller scale, this is perhaps most likely to appear on Switch.

Bien sûr, it goes without saying that all of this information should be taken with a pretty huge pinch of salt. Images leaked by AestheticGamer appear to be most concrete evidence of new Silent Hill content we’ve seen yet, but nothing should be considered ‘confirmed’ until Konami says so.

What do you make of the rumoured Silent Hill games? Do you think any of them has any hope of arriving on Switch? Faites le nous savoir dans les commentaires.
