Manga Artist Suehiro Maruo Teases ‘Silent Hills’ Resurrection?
The ride never ends, apparently. Despite Konami shooting down rumours of a new Silent Hill game, it would seem that something’s afoot thanks to prominent Japanese manga artist Suehiro Maruo.
Spotted on Maruo’s Instagram were two conspicuous images. The first is a welcome sign of sorts with the words “Silent Hills” on it (and the Japanese katakana transliteration for Silent Hills below), with Maruo adding the caption, “Afternoon invitations hope you’ll join in”. The second image is taken outside of the entrance of Konami’s Tokyo headquarters.
Admittedly, it’s easy to jump to conclusions over this. Also, if this is indeed what we’re hoping it is, it wouldn’t be the first time a horror illustrator was involved with Silent Hills. Junji Ito was originally involved in the original Gullermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima project. And we sadly all know how that went.
But once again, this is all speculation on everyone who isn’t Konami. But after all of these rumours, there’s got to be something going on over there.
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.
