Last year, reports emerged that Konami planned to undertake multiple projects revolving around the Silent Hill intellectual property, including remastered games, sequels, and episodic story-driven games, with various studios across the globe taking charge. Additionally, Konami intends to revive two major IPs: Metal Gear and Castlevania.
According to Wccftech, Sony appears to have struck an agreement with Konami, including remastered versions of Metal Gear Solid 3, Silent Hill 2, and even a new Castlevania game, all of which will be timed exclusives for the PlayStation platform. The Metal Gear Solid 3 remaster is expected to be unveiled at the upcoming PlayStation Showcase, potentially as a form of exclusive.
It is understood that the development of Metal Gear Solid 3 may be handled by Virtuos, whose client list now includes Konami. Furthermore, developers have hinted on LinkedIn that they are working on the remastering of a “AAA action-adventure game.”
Silent Hill 2 remake is being developed by Bloober Team, featuring revamped AI, cutscenes, decipherable content, and multiple new endings. As early as June 2021, Bloober Team announced a strategic partnership with Konami, encompassing collaborative game development and technological exchanges. The original game was released on PlayStation 2 in 2001 as the second installment in the series. This horror-adventure title captured the attention of numerous players at the time, garnering widespread acclaim and propelling the Silent Hill series to global prominence.
