Silent Hill fans can expect some big announcements in the near future. The official Silent Hill X/Twitter account has teased that updates on upcoming Silent Hill game and film projects will be revealed on May 31 at midnight (BST). The announcement prompted speculation that we might finally learn more about a rumoured Silent Hill 2 remake, though the tweet made no specific references to what will be revealed.
This announcement follows on from Bloober Team’s comments about the previous trailer for the Silent Hill 2 remake, which the developer said did not “reflect the spirit” of the game and relied too heavily on combat. The studio has since clarified that the marketing is “entirely the responsibility” of the publisher, Konami, but hopes are high that the upcoming transmission will finally reveal some concrete details about the game.

Titled Return to Silent Hill and directed by Christophe Gans, who also directed the 2006 Silent Hill film, this adaptation of Silent Hill 2 will follow protagonist James as he struggles to deal with the loss of his wife. It’s unclear whether this announcement will include any footage or casting details for the film.
Overall, while the specifics of what will be revealed during the transmission are still shrouded in secrecy, the upcoming announcements should offer a tantalizing glimpse into the future of Silent Hill
