Silent Hill Remake Leaks
Before the Silent Hill Transmission, there were a lot of leaks floating around about the upcoming games. Silent Hill is no stranger to speculation regarding potential remakes, remasters, and new mainline games.
There have been whispers about a collaboration with Bloober Team since early 2021 from VGC, who would also post that there were multiple Silent Hill projects in progress from several international studios. These would include a remake, a full sequel to the existing games, and a series of episodic Silent Hill-based stories.
Then, in Spring 2022, several images were leaked on Twitter claiming to be associated with a new Silent Hill title, receiving a DMCA from Konami. Even so, the chances of an official announcement from Konami about a new Silent Hill game seemed slim, as there was no mention of it during Playstation's 2022 Day of Play event.
