After a decade-long wait, fans of the iconic horror game franchise Silent Hill received not one, but two exciting announcements. Konami surprised gamers by releasing a new entry in the series, available today for free on PS5. The last Silent Hill game was released in 2014 as a demo, leaving fans hungry for more.
A Contemporary Take on a Classic
The new game, titled Silent Hill: The Short Message, incorporates "contemporary problems" into its storyline, according to producer Motoi Okamoto from Konami. The protagonist, Anita, experiences a shattered sense of reality as she encounters bizarre spaces and twisted monsters. The game explores themes of online communication and the psychological horror that can arise from the overwhelming wave of negativity on social media.
Unexpected Thrills and Deep Messages
Gamers have been quick to download the new title and have reported a playtime of around an hour and a half. Reviews are pouring in, with players expressing surprise and excitement. One user wrote, "That actually came out of nowhere, just finished it…hits right into the feels…" Another commented, "Welp, looks like we getting spooked tonight boiz." A third player found the game's message to be deep and thought-provoking.
Remake of a Classic
In addition to the new game, fans were delighted to learn that Silent Hill 2 is being remade for the PS5. The combat will be "improved and modernised," giving players a fresh take on the beloved 2001 release. However, no release date has been announced for the remake as of yet.
