Second ‘Silent Hill’ Transmission Streams May 30
It appears that Konami will finally provide fans with an update on several Silent Hill projects this Thursday with a new edition of Silent Hill Transmission this Thursday. The streamed event will kick off at 7:00pm ET, with updates on the current projects, a “deeper look” at the upcoming Return to Silent Hill film from Christophe Gans, and new merchandise.
The previous Silent Hill Transmission back in October 2022 brought us the official announcement of the Silent Hill 2 remake from Bloober Team, which reposted Konami’s X post for this new edition, so expect news on that front. Silent Hill f developer NeoBards Entertainment studio creative director Al Yang did the same thing, so that’s two follow-ups from last time.
That would leave Annapurna Interactive and No Code Games’ Silent Hill: Townfall as the odd one out, but hopefully we’ll still get an update on that one. Behaviour Interactive, Bad Robot Games, Genvid and DJ2 Entertainment’s Silent Hill: Ascension was released last October.
Meanwhile, Gans had given fans a bit of an update a few weeks ago with the official first look at Pyramid Head. The film will centre on James (played by Jeremy Irvine), a man broken after being separated from his one true love (Hannah Emily Anderson). When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of her, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil.
Silent Hill 2 is currently in development for PC via Steam and the PlayStation 5.

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
