Konami’s Silent Hill 2 remake for PC and PlayStation 5 is not the one reimagining of the traditional 2001 sport on the horizon: The firm simply introduced that the story can also be being tailored into a brand new main movement image. Return to Silent Hill will apparently function a direct sequel to the unique 2006 adaptation, and shall be helmed by the exact same director, Christophe Gans.
The mission appears to nonetheless be within the growth part. There’s no teaser trailer, only a handful storyboard photos and items of conceptual art work. Gans spent many of the announcement speaking in regards to the plot of the sport itself. “We determined to return to one of the best of those tales,” he stated throughout Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission dwell stream. “The movie tells the story of a younger man coming again to Silent Hill, the place he has identified an amazing love — and what he will discover is a pure nightmare.”
Victor Hadida, who additionally labored on the 2006 movie, can also be returning to provide, and says that whereas the mission is planning to provide the franchise a contemporary twist, staying true to the spirit of the unique sport is a key focus.

We will not see how properly he manages it for fairly a while, nonetheless. Return to Silent Hill doesn’t but have a launch date.
