When it was revealed that Bloober Team would be handling the remake of the beloved game Silent Hill 2, fans of the series were understandably worried. After all, this game is often hailed as one of the best ever made in the video game industry. The decision to give the remake to a studio known for games like The Medium and Blair Witch seemed risky. However, these concerns were put to rest last year when the game was released to widespread critical acclaim and record-breaking sales for the series. In an interview with PC Gamer, Bloober Team’s Jacek Zieba discussed how the success of the game has changed the studio’s reputation.
After working on Silent Hill, we no longer feel like perpetual underdogs according to PC Gamer’s Zieba. The public reception of the Silent Hill era was challenging, filled with skepticism: ‘Bloober is taking this on, they’re going to ruin it.’ It was difficult for us to persevere and pour our hearts into the project despite widespread opposition. However, we managed to silence the critics, which feels great.
It’s understandable why Silent Hill fans might harbor doubts; after all, it wasn’t just apprehension about Bloober Team managing the series, but also skepticism toward Konami. The publisher let the series rest for quite some time post-cancellation of Hideo Kojima’s highly anticipated Silent Hills. For years now, fans have been yearning for a fresh installment in the franchise, yet here we are, entrusting the remake of a cherished game to a relatively small developer known for creating indie horror games with varying levels of success.
Beyond satisfying Silent Hill enthusiasts with their remake of Silent Hill 2, Bloober Team also managed to impress Konami. Shortly after the release of the remake, both parties announced a joint statement discussing the advantages gained from exchanging knowledge and expertise, leading to a high-quality experience. This announcement hinted at a future collaboration, which was later confirmed as the remake of the original Silent Hill. As of now, neither Konami nor Bloober Team have revealed any details about the new remake; however, there’s significantly less skepticism surrounding this project due to their partnership.
Over the course of a single year, Silent Hill transformed from being a largely overlooked series by Konami, to receiving more attention than any other project they have. The publisher now has no fewer than three separate Silent Hill games in production, with Bloober Team’s remake leading the charge. Additionally, there is another game titled Silent Hill f scheduled for release in September (developed by NeoBards), and Silent Hill Townfall (developed by Screen Burn). At this time, Townfall does not yet have a confirmed release date; however, it may see the light of day as early as 2026. Fingers crossed that these other development teams can achieve the same level of success with their Silent Hill titles.
