Not one, but two Silent Hill games?! Yes, apparently so.

According to the ever-reliable AestheticGamer – who also recently dropped some interesting news about Resident Evil 8 – Konami is currently at work on two new Silent Hill offerings.

It’s been six years since gamers have heard anything remotely positive on a new Silent Hill game. That was back in 2014, when Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro were at work on the Norman Reedus-starring Silent Hills.

Despite that game’s ‘playable teaser’ proving hugely popular, the project was ultimately completely scrapped in 2015. And for fans of the Silent Hill franchise, that was indeed a sad, sad day.

If AestheticGamer is correct, the next few years should be serving up a “soft reboot” of the main Silent Hill series and an episodic, decision-driven game that’s akin to what TellTale have offered up in recent years.

Debuting on the original PlayStation in 1999, Silent Hill went on to become a powerhouse horror franchise that spanned eight main games, several spin-offs, a couple of movies, and some books and comics.

Given the recent success of Capcom’s Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2 HD remakes – not to mention the huge anticipation surrounding the impending HD do-over of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis – many gamers have been making teary-eyed glances towards the Silent Hill games of yesteryear and wondering whether or not we’ll eventually get treated to another terrifying trip to this most sinister of towns.

Now, maybe – just maybe – we should seriously start prepping ourselves mentally to return to Silent Hill.
