The new Silent Hill shows up in a massive leak!

This is the earthquake of this weekend. Without warning, an informant published a few hours ago several snapshots and information regarding a future Silent Hill game . And if there was any doubt about the reliability of his sources, his tweet has just been deleted for copyright infringement.

That Konami (or any other entitled party) reacted so quickly tends to lend credence to the leak shared by Dusk Golem on Twitter and ResetEra . Also, we will be careful not to publish the different shots ourselves. But we can describe them to you as best we can.

A game like Resident Evil 7  ?

Dusk Golem released four images this morning supposedly from a build of a new  Silent Hill.  Dated 2020, these images may no longer be representative of what the game is like today.

Nevertheless, we can appreciate a very attractive technique, and graphics that are even reminiscent of what the RE Engine is capable of. One of the shots shows us a dilapidated, dimly lit room that immediately brings to mind some rooms in the Bakers' house in  Resident Evil 7 .

On another image, we see a female face in close-up, of which certain parts of the skin hide enigmatic messages; others more dramatic like “  I hate myself  ”.

The third image taken from the game places us in a very narrow corridor, bathed in red light and whose walls are completely covered with sheets of paper. At the end of the corridor, a creature whose head and hands resemble a cherry blossom tree stands in our way.

Finally, a last shot shows us the document inspection mechanism which, once again, is very reminiscent of Capcom's way of doing things on the latest  Resident Evil .

 

Innovative game mechanics

In addition to the images, Dusk Golem says he got first-hand information regarding the gameplay of this new  Silent Hill .

In particular, he reports the terms "SMS and messages", which directly echoes a rumor shared more than three years ago by journalist (now screenwriter at Sony Santa Monica) Alanah Pearce. At the time, she explained that the game  Silent Hills , then developed for Konami by Hideo Kojima, would require its players to register, and sign a contract, which would authorize the game to contact them by e- mail and SMS to bring an even more immersive dimension to the title.

Finally, Dusk Golem claims that this game is not the only one currently in development in the  Silent Hill universe . In addition, it would be developed collectively by several studios.

Masahiro Iro, the historical creative director of the license, would also be involved in the project. Moreover, a last artwork shared by Dusk Golem is downright signed by the hand of the artist. It represents another view of the famous creature evoking a cherry blossom tree. A creature that Masahiro Ito was already teasing on his Twitter account in 2018.
