Silent Hills is DEAD!

Silent Hills, the Hideo Kojima / Guillermo Del Torro horror venture has regrettably died and gone to hell.

Recent developments between Kojima and Konami had already left the future of the game in doubt, and the news is finally official. Konami released their statement, and Guillermo even let it slip in a public event. Actor Norman Reedus, who was slated to star in the game, tweeted it was dead, and apparently they’ll also be pulling the teaser, P.T. from the PlayStation Store as well.

The true reasoning behind this development may never be known, but Konami has left us with this official blurb as the only eulogy so far…

Konami is committed to new Silent Hill titles, however the embryonic ‘Silent Hills’ project developed with Guillermo del Toro and featuring the likeness of Norman Reedus will not be continued.

In terms of Kojima and Del Toro being involved, discussions on future Silent Hill projects are currently underway, and please stay tuned for further announcements.
