Silent Hill series monster designer Masahiro Ito (which we’re using the correct picture this time) has taken to Twitter to announce that he’s back in the thick of it with a new project.
Ito announced his involvement in the as-yet-unannounced project on Twitter, with the hope that the title “won’t be cancelled.” Unfortunately, Ito is bound by an NDA, so he can’t reveal just yet what he’ll be lending his expertise to.
I'm working on a title as a core member. I hope the title won't be cancelled.

As a consolation of sorts, Ito released some concept artwork from a cancelled, Russia-set retro science-fiction horror game once in development at Sony Interactive Entertainment. Ito had previously shared the artwork in a March 2017 tweet (that was subsequently deleted), but he had used it as his website’s background image since February 2012. Ito had said in 2018 that the title was in development from 2008 to 2010 before it was shelved.

The last time we saw Ito’s artwork in a game was Konami’s Metal Gear Survive in 2018.
