Not only that, the Silent Hill 2 remake is being worked on by the Bloober Team (the announcement was no surprise, as it’s one of the worst-kept secrets in the gaming industry), while the PC version is shaping up quite nicely as a modern remaster, but also that NeoBards (Resident Evil: Resistance, Resident Evil Re:Verse) is working on Silent Hill f, which Konami revealed as little as possible last year when it unveiled the projects in the franchise. (One thing left out: a demo of Silent Hill: The Short Message for PlayStation 5 leaked from the PlayStation Store database. What will that be?)<\/p>\n
Last October, we wrote this about Silent Hill f: “Ryukishi07 writes the story. The characters and creature design is done by Kera and produced by Motoi Okamoto (the ex-Nintendo veteran might slam the devs’ table if things don’t go as they should). The official description is: “Silent Hill f will be a completely new story set in 1960s Japan featuring a beautiful yet horrifying world. Written by Ryukishi07, famed for Japanese visual novels dealing with murder mysteries, psychological and supernatural horror.””<\/p>\n
The teaser asked far more questions than it could answer. Neobards creative director Al Yang wrote on Twitter<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that he was curious to know what we think the f in the game’s name stands for, and there’s a bet on it within the studio, as the developers have placed a wager on what fans think the letter stands for. The answers included the words: fungus, fate, flower, five, and forte (no game has been released under the name Silent Hill 5…), the latter being a musical term for powerful performance, spelled with a small f…<\/p>\n But it’s also possible that the developers were referring to Old English so that the f could be a medieval letter S, so maybe it’s a resurrection of Silent Hills…<\/p>\n
