Insiders Say Kojima Silent Hill Rumors Are Incorrect

[Animous]

This past week saw a deluge of Konami-related rumors drop. These pointed to a new Castlevania game being in development, a remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, and most prominently, a Sony-funded Silent Hill game being developed by Hideo Kojima's Kojima Productions. Given Kojima's beloved Silent Hills demo P.T., Silent Hill fans were anxious to believe the truth of the new rumor. With things settling down, however, insiders are coming forward to say that the Kojima Productions Silent Hill rumor isn't accurate.

On Saturday, video game data analyst and leaker Millie Amand responded to a follower on Twitter regarding the Silent Hill news. She was asked if it's true that a new Silent Hill game "is being developed by Kojima and Sony." Amand responded curtly, with a simple, "No." Amand has notably shared a variety of PlayStation-adjacent news in recent months. For example, she's talked about Bluepoint's ongoing projects, confirming Metal Gear is not one of them.

Where Amand's response leaves some ambiguity alive given the odd specificity of the question and her short response, another insider has since shared what they've heard in more detail. Shpeshal_Nick of the XboxEra Podcast says that his source have told him that Hideo Kojima is not working on Silent Hill with Konami. He'd later repeat the idea, saying, "I don't think that's happening," regarding Kojima and Silent Hill.

Shpeshal_Nick would go on to say that Kojima Productions is currently focused on its partnership with Xbox to develop a game. That game, he says, is going to be based on an existing IP rather than something new. He doesn't have any further details on it, nor does he address the possibility of Kojima Productions working on more than one project at a time. Regardless, that game isn't going to be Silent Hill, either.
