Excitement is at an all-time high surrounding the Silent Hill series. After a long hiatus, it really does look like Konami's survival horror franchise is about to make its return on PlayStation 5 with a reboot developed by Sony Japan Studio. Keiichiro Toyama has returned to direct the PS5 exclusive and according to one of the sources which helped to leak the news in the first place, the new Silent Hill project will be a part of Sony's next-gen game event this Thursday.
AestheticGamer, who worked in tandem with website Rely On Horror to share details on the rumoured title, says that Silent Hill PS5 should be revealed on the 4th June. He states this because it's an exclusive game, in a playable state, and the team is excited to reveal the game.
The Twitter profile warns that the announcement could be held back until August, when Sony is speculated to be hosting another State of Play livestream due to the fact that is not a launch game. However, the Japanese giant did say that this week's digital event would focus on "the games you’ll be playing after PlayStation 5 launches this holiday." We don't have too much longer to wait until we find out whether this actually comes to fruition or not.

I really hope this is true.
Don't tease me like this
Nice disclaimer 😉, I would love it to be true though and this would be a great time to show it
Silent Hill remains to this day the only game that gets scarier on a replay. First time I basically had no idea what was going on, next playthrough and I knew that the hospital was about to go demonic and them damn nurses were about to make an appearance, good god, too much for my young brain. Second is obviously peoples favourite, 3 was alright, haven't played the rest. But SH1 will always be special to me.
A Silent Hill on Ps5 would be the first game I pre order in years.
Ahh apparently based on the Centralia Mine Fire.

Good ole Konami still burning bright today.
Upon reading the headline I was about to start eating my own version of humble pie after how sceptical I've been about this.
The disclaimer given "they may hold it back till August" means I'm still putting this in the Twitter gossip clickbait camp
Oh my god.
If they want to get me on board, this is the way to do it, lol.
Silent Hill is by far my favourite horror series of all time. Sorry to say but while they're great, Silent Hill has always beaten Resident Evil hands down for simply being able to scare the crap out of me!
My favourite was SH2 and I really, really hope this is true.
If Sony can also help to patch up the relationship with Konami and Kojima it's possible we might finally get a MGS remake too, even if Kojima isn't the head I suspect he'd still need to be credited as its creator but they could put BluePoint on the job.
Ps5 event commercial .just right now on espn first take.you know its going to be big when espn is doing a ps5 commercial.cant wait.word up son
I'm more hyped for this than any other game, ever. I've been craving a true Silent Hill game since The Room (which I actually think is underrated). Most of the original team and composer back? I'm so on board.
Nice, I really hope it's true, man I can't wait for ps5 event
What a bunch of poppycock
I hope it's true, but I do not believe it is.
I'm so pumped! A Silent Hill announcement would make my year!
The only thing I'm not super excited about is it being a "remake." Honestly, I'd rather see something completely new! At this point, we already had a remake (Shattered Memories), plus there was the movie, so we've already seen 3 different versions of Harry Mason's story. I also just think the original is perfect as-is, so I'm biased! Change my mind, Sony!
I'm not too great with horror games, but would love to try Silent Hill since it gets a lot of praise.
A remake of Silent Hill? Not made by Konami!? Made by Japan Studio?
Damn, it this is real, its a dream come true.
I wish all these rumours would sod off. I want to be surprised by announcements for once.
Love the silent hill games. So funny.
This story keeps bouncing around. A leak or rumour appears, it gets debunked, another leak or rumour appears, it gets debunked. And so on. Wouldn't it be better to just wait until it gets offically announced instead of reporting on every leak or rumour as news? Do some proper investigational work for once. I'm not having a go at Push Square, more so on how the industry operates in general these days
Would pre order this in a second, and I don’t pre order.
Never played a silent hill. Tried with silent hill2 on PC but the music and sound were so scary I had to put it down.
This is a total MEGA TON
If Konami doesn't see a single penny, then I'm in.
@nookie_egg SH3 was my favourite. SH4 got under my skin with the 1st person sections in the flat - which makes me hope that any new SH will be entirely in 1st person (and VR, lie Resi 7).
@keihtg I've just ordered Shattered Memories from eBay. Cannot wait.
