Konami Brings Back ‘Silent Hill’ Again as a Pachinko Machine
In another sign that we’re a good long time away from Konami giving Silent Hill fans a proper return to the series, Konami has announced a new Pachinko machine using the Silent Hill license. Silent Hill: Escape is apparently just one of many new machines that will be themed around the iconic horror series. The other designs will debut at the Global Gaming Expo (a gambling expo) later this month.
According to a press release, Tom Jingoli, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer from Konami, stated that Escape “is a striking combination of sleek entertainment, premium packaging, and player comfort, backed by a rich library of original titles. Everything, including its shape, screens, betting surface, and available merchandising, has been engineered to maximize both player experience and operational results.”
In case you’d like to keep count, Silent Hill, along with other classic Konami franchises Castlevania and Metal Gear Solid have all received this treatment. The worst part? There will probably be more.
Still, it’s times like these that we can turn to the fanbase for at least trying to keep the traditional games alive, such as the recent remake of the P.T. demo in Unreal, or the recent discovery of a Silent Hill 2 prototype. Until then, Konami does us no favours.
Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.
After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.
Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.
As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.
Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.
- The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
- Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
- The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
- A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
- The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
- The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.
Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
