20 Video Game Reveals That Shocked the World

20. Silent Hills

In August 2014, a survival horror demo for a game called P.T. was released on the PlayStation Store for free from an apparently new developer called 7780s Studio.

However, players who made it to the end of the demo discovered that P.T. actually stood for Playable Teaser, and that it was a prelude to a new Silent Hill game, Silent Hills.

More to the point, the closing cinematic revealed that this new franchise installment was to be co-directed by the legendary Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, with 7780s Studios actually being a pseudonym for Kojima Productions.

Oh, and the game would also star The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus as its protagonist.

Though the reveal damn-near broke the Internet, by April 2015 Konami announced that Silent Hills had been cancelled, largely due to the faltering relationship between Kojima and Konami during development of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which ultimately prompted him to part ways with them.

There was a small measure of solace, though, when Kojima reunited with both Reedus and Del Toro for his next original project, Death Stranding.
