Having previously announced that it will continue to work with Bloober Team after the success of last year's Silent Hill 2 remake, Konami today confirmed the developer will be giving the original PS1 game the same treatment.
The announcement was made in today's Konami Press Start livestream, which concluded with the two company logos and the Silent Hill logo followed by "in development". The series' official Twitter account has confirmed the following: "We are currently working with Bloober Team on a remake of SILENT HILL, which was released for PlayStation in 1999."

While target platforms and a release date weren't confirmed, a PS5 version is almost a certainty. Given the project has been revealed with just a splash screen and the announcement it's "in development", it's presumed production is quite early.

What a time to be a Silent Hill fan. We were famished for years and now we're eating again. Can't wait for this and Silent Hill f.
Brilliant news!! I'm more excited for the fact this means Silent Hill 3 will also get a remake because they go hand-in-hand, and SH3 is my favourite in the whole franchise.
#InBlooberwetrust.
I'm a fair bit miffed as a very hardcore Castlevania fan who's never played Silent Hill that this was the big announcement of the Konami show but SH2R was shockingly well-done from what I've heard so I imagine this'll be a pretty good time too 👍
(sigh) Well at least I have f. Can you at least make the original legally playable
Can't wait! Bloober did a superb job with the SH2 Remake.
Bloober Team already nailed the way more thematically complex and sensitive game in the series, so this should be a walk in the park by comparison.
Can't wait for this the music the intro talk about nostalgia
After they nailed the remake of SH2 (best game in the series imo), I trust them a lot with the remake of the first game.
The survivor horror genre is really booming now
Nice. The original is still my favorite Silent Hill game, and the sense of dread in unmatched in the rest of the series, so I'm excited it's getting another pass. Hopefully Bloober nails this one, too.
It's one of my personal favourite PS1 games. Voice acting has obviously dated badly but the atmosphere is still denser than a neutron star
I'm literally shaking
Finally! SH1 still remains as my favorite SH game. Just replayed it last year before playing SH2 Remake (still holds up) and now we're also getting the remake. Thank you, Konami!
Woow bloober team is cooking SH2 remake last year this year we got chronos and now SH 1 remake
SILENT HILL FANS WE FINALLY EATING GOOD AGAINNNNN
After years of being starved for survival horror games they are now being shoved down my throat and I’m here for it lol
Man what a time for Horror fans. SH1 remake, Silent Hill F, Resident Evil 9. Blooper also on another project (forgot the name) so yeah. Plus several othe rprojects that are in the works, boy oh boy.
Fix SH2 first on the pro.
5 years ago if you told me they would be able to bring Silent Hill back from the dead, I would call you crazy. What a time to be alive!
I just screamed out "YES!" reading this. Everyone piles the acclaim on SH2, but aside from graphics I always thought the first one was far superior. The story resonated with me so much (especially being a parent) and this one truly scared me when I first played it, much more than any of its successors. I am so happy to hear this, day 1 purchase easy.
I am absolutely thrilled by this news. Silent Hill is my favourite Silent Hill game, and I did have a hope that they might do it after the success of Silent Hill 2 but I honestly didn't expect it. This is amazing news.
This opens the door for a future Silent Hill 3 remake too since that's a lot more connected to the first game.
I dont know what is up with Konami anymore. But they need to keep this going. They have done so many good things as of late.
Amazing. For as much as I love 2, and believe me, I absolutely adore it and the remake, the first one was always way more scary to me.
The second was psychological, the first was scary just from walking down hallways and just looking at the environment. I’m so excited for this but I also dread the wait. I feel like it was a chore to wait so long for the second remake (was so worth it) but this is going to be another patience test 😩
I hope they keep the little sound effects that would happen randomly and figure out a way to keep the cinematic camera angles on certain scenes. Don’t know how that would translate though if it’s going to be 3rd person again.
Nonetheless, I don’t care, I’m here for whatever they serve up!
I'm looking forwards to this remake & Silent Hill f. I am hoping Konami remake's Castlevania Lords of Shadows one & two.
Omg. I freaking love SH2 remake and here we are,another remake from bloober. Im so happy 😆
I never thought I’d see the day where both Resident Evil and Silent Hill are simultaneously healthy again.
N.i.c.e. I had a feeling this was gonna happen.silent hill 1 is a classic. Word up son
Why can’t they do this stuff in order 🙄 okay I’ll be interested to see as more of an overhaul required than 2 but in the meantime small matter of a new game incoming….
The only thing I hope for is that SH1 had a certain “vibe” that was unique. That’s what I hope is maintained.
I really loved the first one when I played it for the first time on Vita even if it scared me sh*tless. Something about the low fidelity just makes it creepier. I still can’t quite believe Bloober pulled off the second one (mostly) so fair enough, go for the first one now as it’s less thematically complex.
@SystemAddict SH2 is most popular one and is a stand alone story, so it did make sense to start with it first.
Nice one, it's the only game out the first 6 (I stopped after that) that I never played, and always wanted to. I suspect this will be a great way to experience it finally.
@Ultimapunch it's been so long...last time they were top tier was RE3 then tailed off until 7, and Silent hill just basically drop of the planet, and now 3 massive releases within a year
@DadJKP they manage to keep thecfeel and vibe on SH2 remake, I have full faith in them with SH1 to do the same
So many endings. Good luck bloober.
It should be the first one they remake. But hey at least now they're working on it.
Can't wait to see how they gonna reimagined Harry, Cheryl, Cybil, Kauffman, Lisa, Alessa, and Dahlia.
Hopefully next up metal gear solid 1 remake im super excited for this remake though
I'll be sad if they don't keep the iconic camers work during the beginning when running from the dogs
LET"S GOOOOOO
HARRY MASON IS BACK
@Oram77 it’s true the 1st was one of things that was like breaking the ice before finding true form with the true “debut”. I actually went out of my way when it came out after work to buy an export copy in a small independent store under the railway, don’t think many people were playing it
Survival-horror fans rejoice! We are eating good.
It's happening meme gif insert*
@ButterySmooth30FPS sounds like a fit, maybe lay of the butter...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE ARE IN THE BEST TIMELINE
@Fizza Hello there friend.
First of all, love the gif, it´s hilarious. And I know exactely where it is in the original game. How funny is that? 😜
Second, from one hardcore Castlevania fan to another, I to was expecting something, anything about this beloved franchise.
Not today it seems.
But Sillent Hill one remake with Blooper team at the helm? Count me in on day one.
With this anouncement, Resident Evil 9 Requiem and Cronos The New Dawn, survival horror fans are eating really nicely.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone
@Keyblade-Dan actually, Silent Hill 1 is legally playable: it's available to buy on the PS Vita. But if you don't have a PS Vita, then, sadly, no luck as no other options are available.
Ngl that OG Silent Hill 1 song hit hard!
Always said Konami without Kojima is a great Konami. Hope we get a Metal Gear Solid sequel just to spite him. XD
@joeyflannel just realized: WE ARE SO GETTING SILENT HILL 3 AS WELL!
@Kwyjibo_Kitsune I remember it well. I was all in during that survival horror craze so I played all those you mentioned XD, and the consensus then was that Silent Hill was the scariest game on playstation, Silent Hill 2 was massively anticipated when it was announced for PS2 and when it released it's success cemented it's status as a pillar IP for Konami.
Glad Konami remembered our boy Harry. This one just shot up to the top of my most anticipated list just below GTA 6.
Hopefully the simpler story of SH1 plays to their advantage. And maybe this time they don't bloat the original's brisk pace with tedious combat.
My first SH game all those years ago was SH2, which I still consider the best in the series... for now.
Never played SH1 actually... Played all of the other games in the series, but never the first.
Now that they Remake it, I'll certainly give it a go
I saw now that it's rather short, 3-5h campaign with 6-11h tops for completionists. Most likely Bloober will prolong that by a few hours with extra content.
This also means it won't take too long to develop, especially considering that after SH2-R they have quite an experience. 2026 release maybe?
I hope they manage to bring back SH Origins someday too - another one I enjoyed a lot on the PS2, it's actually on 2nd place after SH2 for me.
This is going to be great!
Silent Hill 2 remake is amazing, so I have faith Bloober Team will deliver on this one, too.
Silent Hill 2 Remake was my first Silent Hill game and possibly the scariest horror game I have ever played. I played it with headphones on late at night... Looking forward to this. 😙
@Frmknst Sorry, I think you meant to write “nowhere” instead of “everywhere”…
I remember borrowing Silent Hill from a friend back in 1999. I was 17 at the time. I had played Resident Evil 1 & 2 and loved them to bits but holy crap I did not know what I was getting myself into when I booted up SH. F*ck me, it was scary! Very much different in vibe from the Resi games, the constant dread had me running in straight panic all game. The first time that siren rang and the game literallly turned into hell all around me... I was not prepared!
It was the talk of the school yard that year, that's for sure. Most of my mates couldn't finish it - it was too scary!
This is the one that needed the remake most. The others had been improved over time but the original had remained sat in PS1 zone completely ignored. Looking forward to replaying it after so many years.
@Frmknst where? Every site raved about it and continues to do so.
Watch Bloober Team find a way to make it even worse than the Silent Hill 2 Demake
SH2 remake was really good, a weird case of a game not replacing the original but also not being redundant.
I really hope they can get the vibes of SH1 right, which is really hard as I feel like the dated graphics really do work in favor of the horror element.
@crackeastwood C'mon it wasn't that. As a fan who played all the games and wanted to hate it it rocked. Unless you have a PS5 Pro of course...
