‘Silent Hill: The Short Message’ Earns Over One Million Downloads Since Last Week’s Launch

To no one’s surprise, fans jumped at the chance to return to the series with last week’s release of Silent Hill: The Short Message. The free-to-play game reportedly logged over a million downloads since its launch during the Sony State of Play last Thursday, with Konami taking to X to announce the big news.

Much like the game’s namesake, Konami was short but sweet with their announcement, thanking all those who played the game.

This is certainly welcome news for Konami after the questionable response from fans and critics over last year’s Silent Hill: Ascension, which despite the interesting concept, didn’t quite  endear itself to fans looking for a traditional return of the franchise.

Obviously, the next big test will be the long-awaited and anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake that’s currently being developed by Bloober Team. We did get a glimpse at the combat mechanics last week, but there’s still no release date, however.

Silent Hill: The Short Message is available now via the PlayStation Store, and centres on Anita. Following messages from her friend Maya, Anita finds herself at a crumbling apartment block, infamous for rumors of suicides. Drawn inside, Anita soon finds her sense of reality shattered as she encounters bizarre, otherworldly spaces, haunted by a twisted monster. Maya’s message was clear — “can’t leave til you find it” — but what is it that Anita is really looking for?

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
