In January, the internet exploded with reports Konami was pulling out of the video game market. If missing out on E3 wasn't bad enough, let's remember those recent reports that Konami was shuttering its in-house development. Although Silent Hills evolved into what became Death Stranding, it's left a nasty mark on the surface of the Silent Hill name.

By now, we're sure you all remember P.T. had rave reviews but was eventually scrapped when the legendary Hideo Kojima parted ways with Konami and set up Kojima Productions. There's the marred legacy of Sony's P.T. ( Playable Teaser), which was supposed to reinvent the name with Silent Hills. Like we said, it's been a whopping nine years since Silent Hill has given us anything new, and apart from promises of a third movie in the already average live-action series, the franchise has gone to ground. Konami has shared its support for the Entertainment Software Association and promised '2021 will be a great success', but is it too little, too late? Last year's gaming expo was cancelled outright, which means 2021's is even bigger and is sure to pave the way for which AAA titles are coming in the next few years. Despite being one of the first big developers to announce its involvement, Konami has spectacularly pulled out and said it will 'not be ready to present' at E3.ĭespite saying there are a 'number of key projects' in development, it's disappointing that players won't be rewarded for their patience at E3. There were high hopes that E3 2021 could usher in a new generation of Silent Hill games, but sadly, Konami has confirmed it won't be part of the online-only event.

Barely a week goes by that someone doesn't claim Konami is working on a new game(s) set in Silent Hill lore, however, they're just the stuff of legends.
