Silent Hills: 10 Big Rumours You Need To Know

3. The Aliens Might Play Their Biggest Role Yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh-eZsjcwwE In our 10 Times Silent Hill Was Absolutely Terrifying article, we discussed how Kojima is admirably continuing some of the series€™ traditions such as chilling bathroom scenes. Based on one of P.T.'s radio broadcasts from Hell, it looks like Kojima is also bringing back the aliens, except this time he might not be doing it for a joke ending. The theory was set in motion when Youtuber SirDaidv filmed a loop containing the chilling Swedish broadcast. He called upon his fans to post a translation, which they happily obliged to do (in order to view the translation, you'll need to setup the captions in the above video). One of the more interesting passages suggests a fictional story is real in Silent Hill's lore: €œAs the radio drama from 75 years ago was the truth.€ Keep in mind that the broadcaster is referring to the year 1938 when War of the Worlds, the famous story by Orson Welles, was broadcast to the public. The rest of the broadcast also suggests that the aliens have taken control of everything and will soon open a portal to a new dimension. Perhaps the aliens set in motion the events leading up to the first Silent Hill game, and, despite the humorous endings, have been responsible for everything that's happened in the series? By including the War of the Worlds reference, Kojima might be trying to turnthe series€™ UFO jokes as part of the series€™ reality. Whether or not the aliens have been behind the town this whole time remains to be seen, but at the very least we can expect their presence in some form.
