Rumour Control: Konami Working on Two ‘Silent Hill’ Games?
This rumour might be too good to be true for many who long for a return of Silent Hill that doesn’t involve Pachinko. Though as always, have your salt shaker ready.
According to Twitter user AestheticGamer, who has been known in the past for accurate leaks surrounding news about Capcom, it’s being said that Konami may have not one but two Silent Hill titles in the works. Not only that, but they also suggest that one of those properties might be revealed this year. Konami apparently has been listening to pitches from various developers, with one pitch involving a soft reboot of the series, and another being more of an episodic game akin to Telltale’s The Walking Dead.
No word if some of those developers were the remnants of Team Silent, who had worked on the original games prior to the release of Silent Hill: Origins.
In other news while I'm dropping this stuff, and I think I can talk about this, I'll mention there is a couple new Silent Hill games in the works. Konami about two years ago reached out to various developers to pitch ideas for two Silent Hill games, one a soft-reboot of the

Again, despite it essentially being just a guy on Twitter who has been known to have leaked correct info in the past, Silent Hill fans have been without a proper game since Hideo Kojima’s ill-fated P.T. and Silent Hills, which was ultimately cancelled. The last released game in the franchise was 2012’s Silent Hill: Book of Memories for the PlayStation Vita, which was far from what fans wanted, to say the least.
Fingers crossed.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
