For fans of the horror game series Silent Hill, this should be exciting news: A rating for a new game title of the IP has been tracked down on the Internet. Is a Silent Hill Game Sequel confirmed?
The insight comes from the Game Rating and Administration Committee in South Korea, which has given a rating including the title of a new Silent Hill game. It seems like the game is titled Silent Hill: The Short Message. Thanks to the guys over at Gematsu, who stumbled upon this information.
The publisher of the game is also known
The legitimacy of the new title is supported by additional information, which was also revealed. The publisher of the new title is supposed to be UNIANA, which has already been responsible for the release of many Konami titles. There is no official information from the developers about a new Silent Hill Game yet. But this breaking news gives us good reason to be optimistic about the future of the popular game series.
Over the years, many rumors have already circulated. In the summer of 2021, Konami announced a cooperation with the Polish horror game developer Bloober Team, a company that is known for very successful horror titles like Layers of Fear or Blair Witch. This led many to believe that a Silent Hill 2 remake was now being worked on. Konami and Bloober Team held back with information until now.
However, a leaked screenshot with Japanese text surfaced on Reddit today, which could show an excerpt from the possible new Silent Hill Game Sequel. The screenshots were coming from Dusk Golem:
