Well, then. We’ve all waited patiently, but it’s finally happening: Konami has confirmed an official Silent Hill broadcast for 19th October, 2022. The event – which will begin at 2PM PDT/10PM BST – promises “the latest updates on the […] series”. While many of you will jest about the possibility of pachinko machines, we know that multiple titles are in development.
One game, expected to be a remake of Silent Hill 2, is purportedly in the works at Polish studio Bloober Team – and there are rumours of other projects, including a full-blown sequel from Masahiro Ito. Just to add fuel to the fire, Ito retweeted the message about the broadcast.
Whether all of these titles will be unveiled during the same showcase is up for debate, but clearly there’s something big afoot. Of note, the publisher has also updated all of the logos and artwork on its official Silent Hill social media pages.
If you’re not sure what time to tune in on your timezone, we’ve constructed a handy little guide below for you:
- North America: 2pm PDT / 3pm MDT / 4pm CDT / 5pm EDT
- UK/Ire: 10pm BST
- Europe: 11pm CEST / 12am (Thu) EEST
- Asia/Oceania: 6am (Thu) JST / 5am (Thu) AWST / 8am (Thu) AEDT

Here we go!
Looking forward to it
Mobile game and a Netflix anime show that'll last 1 season. Calling it now!!
I'll be watching please don't disappoint with some crap merch pachinko machines or NFTs we want new games
Pyramid Head Mobile spin off and overly expensive plushy confirmed
There’s a lot of poking fun at Konami, but they’ve been pretty steadily releasing collections and pushing their way back into the gamin space. Whether or not they picked the right teams to make these games at least they contracted out studios to revive the IP.
Well let’s wait and see
@ErrantRob Yeah, agreed. Konami's retro collections have been awesome of late.
We definitely should give them a chance, we can roast them if the games don't look very good!
Praying this is going to be good
I've never played a silent hill game before but they do look wonderful - I'm keeping a very close eye on this!
I would love anything Silent Hill, either a collection of older titles, remakes, new games etc.! Recent Konami collections were great so I hope they continue the trend.
@get2sammyb It's almost crazy how well the next year or so is shaping up for horror games.
There's also the film that Christophe Gans has said he's filming very soon, but technically hasn't been officially announced. They might say something about it here too.
Please be good, please be good 🙏😭 A Silent Hill revival with the same quality as recent RE games would be amazing. ❤️
Please be good! I finally managed to snag a PS5 and am looking forward to all the next gen horror goodness coming next year.
I literally can’t believe it. I’m won’t get my hopes up because it’s Konami, but after years of false teases and rumours, its amazing to see an official confirmation
Horror is my favourite genre so this would be such a big deal to me but......I just don't trust them I'm really sorry to be the annoying cynical a hole I really am but I'm sure that this will be the same thing that led to the death of the series in the first place probably a game made by some awful Z list western dev instead of an actual Japanese team that give a crap. I desperately DESPERATELY want to eat my words and be proven wrong but I just don't think I will be and if that god forsaken Bloober Team is mentioned it'll break my heart
N.i.c.e its about time.cant wait.silent hill is coming back.cool.i l💛ve silent hill origins on psp.that games was one of the scariest games ever.word up son
It's gonna be a HD collection of 1-4 and maybe more for PS5, X/S, and PC
I can only hope this is going to finally bear some amazing (and psychologically horrifying) fruit. The Silent Hill series holds a special place in my heart (there was a HOLE there but it’s gone now).
Cant wait to stop hearing rumors about this...

Finally! Please don’t mess this up Konami.
PLEASE 🥹
@ErrantRob the pachinko jokes are also really outdated because the division that made them was shut down some time ago.
Oh yes; I see it. That’s 3 restless sleeps starting now 😳 got me giddy like christmas
They’ll announce that they’re adding PT back to the PlayStation Store for the low low price of £69.99.
5 years ago if someone said to me that Konami is about to officially confirm a potential SH2 remake and a new potential SH sequel, I'd have laughed and replied no chance what are you smoking. It's just a shame MGS is so much more complicated than Silent Hill if wanted to make a comeback, with it being Hideo Kojimas baby and how having someone else do MGS will never be the same and not forgetting David Hayter also
Sony was at kojima productions last week ..
it would be weird if they decided to remake silent hill 2 but did not acknowledge silent hill 1 first. i would argue that the first game has potential to be just as good as the sequel if it were to receive a proper remake. better yet, remake them both. they are juggernauts as far as their influence on the horror genre all the same. all the other silent hill games are honestly quite flawed by comparison, especially silent hill 4 and the non mainline entries that were farmed out.
so, what i would like to see: remakes of silent hill 1 AND 2 as well as a brand new entry (reboot) for the franchise. most importantly, we need reputable studios to be attached. i hope bluepoint is responsible for the silent hill 1/2 remakes — if that means they are exclusive to ps5/pc that is fine by me. as for the developer of the NEW entry? the only one i can think of who could do it justice (other than capcom of course but that won't happen for obvious reasons) is kojima productions.... if by some miracle kojima can put the toxic history with konami behind him, that would be a hell of a cover story. but realistically? hard to say since there aren't many AAA studios working on horror games these days... bekoh studio (made up of ex studio japan members and the silent hill creator) is unproven and new on the block, but it would be cool to see that team tackle a new silent hill game!
I have to be the one to name drop Kojima.
May the wait be worth it regardless.
I’ve never played a Silent Hill game before, strangely. So I’ll be VERY interested to see what’s in the works as I know they’re right up my alley.
Kept you waiting, huh? Just please don't suck
I’ll be looking forward to this. Hopefully the rumors of three games are true and they start showing them off. I’m excited to revisit that town again.
Some actual high brow new release news about a game that’s been rumoured for years?
Going to tell my grandparents about this day.
@DETfaninATL You should, the originals are still worth playing.
It would be (not) funny if the 'transmission' was just radio static
(a la SH2)
I see the nurse has had her cleavage covered up btw, good thing too! Wouldn't want anyone to have 'improper' thoughts these days.
Hopefully we get a Metal gear 1 remake transmission soon also. I’d love to play that game again.
I wish it is a worthwhile reboot, never played it because I just can't get into old games.
It's going to be remakes in the style of the Resi games.
Finally something OFFICIAL! 🤣
I look forward to seeing what they have to offer.
Blooper team ugh, could they not have given it to a game developer, ba dum tsh
Transmission?
Huh, radio. What’s going on with that radio?
I'm going in with the bare minimum of hype, Konami need to do a lot more besides collections of old games to earn anything resembling faith from me.
I'm expecting pachinko and N*Ts with a side salad of Mobile junk.
What I'd like to see is a new AAA game not from Bloober or a full on reboot/remake of SH1... Or, and this is The Dream, Konami and Kojima have buried the hatchet and that Elle Fanning game is actually a Silent Hill game.
After the recent Castlevania and Turtles compilations I am more optimistic than I would have been a year or two ago.
@EvilSilentFrame I can’t wait to revisit the school
@WolfyTn hopefully one of these games you get to enter the school then, because if the rumor of SH2 remake is true, you didn’t go into the school in that one. I too would like to revisit it so hopefully it’s in one of the other two games rumored to be made.
I hope they re-do the first one. I got it on PS1 disc but never played it(think I played the demo tho) But knowing Konami nowadays it will probably be a slot machine game tho
I just gave up and bought the HD Collection 2 weeks ago as I don't have the right consoles for any other, but still, this kind of thing keeps happening!
@Keyblade-Dan Fun fact, the new game being developed by original team silent
@Nepp67 Dude if that's the case I think I will legit cry tears of joy 😅
@Keyblade-Dan The SH movie director confirms it himself. That guy would most likely be fired if he just casually spit that out.
I'm only interested in Silent Hill if Kojima gets to work on his game again with Norman Reedus and Guillermo del Toro.
However I'd love to be proven wrong and be impressed by whatever Konami does wind up revealing tomorrow.
@redd214 What you all dont have cell phones?
