[Video] Check Out This Fan Remake of ‘Silent Hill’ Running in Unreal Engine 5
As is often the case, it’s the fans who come to the rescue when a game franchise needs them the most. Much like what we saw earlier this week with a fan-made update to Dino Crisis‘ Regina, a group of fans have decided to take on the task of remaking Konami’s classic Silent Hill using the power of Unreal Engine 5.
Per DSOGaming, a group of devs known as Codeless Studio have put together some footage of their work remaking the original game in Unreal. Sadly, while we’re all secretly hoping for an actual release, according to the team, Codeless Studio does not plan to release this project to the public. Instead, however, we can just dream our restless dreams as before.
The pre-alpha footage shows off Harry Mason roaming the fog-covered streets of the eponymous Silent Hill with some basic gameplay mechanics thrown in. The video ends just as Harry discovers the corpse hanging from the fence in the alleyway.
It’s not all hopeless for fans. After all, Keiichiro Toyama, the creator of Silent Hill, is hard at work with his team at Bokeh Game Studio creating Slitterhead. While not quite Silent Hill, the game does contain plenty of body horror and shades of John Carpenter’s The Thing, as well as music by Silent Hill composer, Akira Yamaoka.
And of course, there are those lingering rumours that Konami is working on reviving the series. You take what you can get, as they say.
Big props to RelyOnHorror for finding this one!
After last month’s Open Beta, Cold Symmetry and publisher Playstack have announced an August 20 release date for their Soulslike RPG Mortal Shell II. Launching for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, pre-orders are now available for the standard edition of the game, as well as a “Devout Edition”, which includes the base game, up to 72 hours of advanced access, and the exclusive Obsidian skin set for all eight playable Shells.
PlayStation 5 users can also pre-order the physical “Revered Edition,” which includes the base game, a SteelBook case, art book, art prints, and the pre-order bonus skins Obsidian and Skeletal Harbinger, all housed inside a collector’s box.
Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel to the original Mortal Shell that significantly expands on the original with unrestricted combat, deeper weapon design with extensive upgrade options, and an emphasis on free exploration.
You are the Harbinger, a being prophesied to reclaim the blessed Undermether’s stolen Ova from the daunting creatures that ruthlessly guard her unborn. Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel that significantly expands on the original with unrestricted, adrenaline-charged combat, offering deeper weapon design with extensive upgrade options, and an emphasis on free exploration. The game’s immersive, interconnected open world is expansive yet deliberately compact, designed to unfold its twisted landscapes and hidden structures while respecting the player’s time.
Once again, players will be making use of Shells — dormant forms of forgotten warriors are scattered throughout the world. Once discovered, each Shell can be awakened and possessed, unlocking their innate strengths and unique abilities. Evolve your own style of combat by harnessing the diverse unique abilities of each Shell, and unravel their secrets through the discovery of lost memories.
