Konami just "confirmed" the rumors of a new Silent Hill game

Regardless of whether these rumors are baseless or not, we understand why people will jump at every bit of Silent Hill news.

The first two Silent Hill games are iconic, seminal, and influential. The lasting impact of Konami's initial Silent Hill outings is felt, even to this day. It doesn't matter if it's the multiple endings of the second game, one of which includes a dog running the entire show, or the fog that started with the first game that became a franchise staple but was actually a way to get around hardware limitations at the time.

The thing is, when you talk about Silent Hill, people will listen.

Now that Konami just practically announced that it's working on something related to Silent Hill, we can expect more rumors, leaks, and speculation, to come in the next few months.

Only time will tell if and when Konami is actually working on a new Silent Hill game. At this point, we don't care who's taking the lead on the future of Silent Hill. All we're hoping for is that the state of the iconic horror series isn't as shrouded in fog as the town itself.
