Now, we’re conscious that Bloober Workforce are working with Konami provided that the pair entered a partnership throughout summer season final yr. Only a month following that announcement, rumours started to emerge that Bloober Workforce was engaged on a brand new Silent Hill title.

Bloober’s CMO, Tomasz Galikowski, took half in an interview with IGN to clear the rumours up. Though, he finally left followers with extra questions. The CMO instructed IGN that Bloober had utilized for 2 initiatives with Konami, respectively codenamed Dum Spiro and Black.
It was concluded that on the time, Bloober was not capable of ship Dum Spiro “in a kind that’s appropriately delicate to the subject and commercially viable on the similar time.” This led to Dum Spiro leaving lively improvement.
The concept for Black was additionally shelved. Nevertheless, Galikowski did share that the developer is continuous to work on a sport beneath the identical codename, though they mentioned that, “it is now a a lot totally different venture than what you may learn on the internet up to now few days.”
That remaining quote from Galikowski particularly led many to consider that whereas he didn’t explicitly state it, this may very well be a Silent Hill sport. Now, with extra leaks having emerged, rumours surrounding Bloober Workforce and Silent Hill are as soon as once more rampant.
A ResetEra consumer who claims to have some information concerning the leaked photographs, Nightfall Golem, shared in response to the leaks that, “They’re actual, however they are not even CLOSE to the ultimate product. These are from an inner pitch demo from Bloober earlier than they obtained greenlit, so it is actually a no funds proof of idea factor moderately than a remaining product, simply hold that in thoughts. Out of every part that might’ve leaked, this is not really what the ultimate sport appears to be like like.”
“I discussed earlier than Konami was on the lookout for pitches in summer season of 2018, this was one of many pitches that obtained greenlit, however take it for what it’s; a proof of idea no funds demo to pitch an idea.”
Because of this these explicit leaks, if Nightfall Golem is talking the reality, are 4 years outdated. If Bloober Workforce is at the moment engaged on a Silent Hill 2 remake, or any form of Silent Hill title for that matter (seeing as earlier leaks insinuated multiple Silent Hill sport was on the playing cards), it’s actually going to look rather a lot totally different than these grainy screenshots.
Whereas all rumours are to be taken with a pinch of salt, Konami did subject a DMCA strike final time supposed Silent Hill reboot photographs had been leaked on-line. This isn’t affirmation by any means, nevertheless it does add additional gasoline to the hearth of rumours that we’ll be seeing some new instalments for the Silent Hill sequence quickly.
What do you consider the newest Silent Hill leaks? I do not learn about you, however I am bored with grainy Silent Hill-esque screenshot leaks now; Konami, please give us one thing that we will put our arms on already.
