Silent Hill 1 is getting a full remake, Konami and Bloober confirm

Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, Silent Hill 2 - and now the original survival horror game, featuring Harry Mason. As teased during Konami's Press Start event just now, Silent Hill 1 is getting a remake from Bloober, the team behind the 2024 version of SH2 and the upcoming Cronos: The New Dawn. Originally released in 1999, Silent Hill introduces players to the haunted, terrifying town for the first time; unlike its nearest rival, Resident Evil, it's couched in psychological terror more than monsters and gore. Now, with Resident Evil 9: Requiem just confirmed, Silent Hill 1 Remake is also on its way.

It's that opening scene - the alleyway, the empty wheelchair, the air-raid siren wailing in the distance. Even after 26 years, Silent Hill remains imprinted on the memory of anybody who played it, especially that section in the school and the latter stages of the hospital sequence. All we have of Silent Hill Remake right now is a short, relatively vague tease, but that's unmistakably the horror game's theme music, and the fog.

Given how well Silent Hill 2 Remake was received, it was only a matter of time before Konami handed Bloober the keys to another game in the series. Silent Hill 3 may have seemed like the most natural contender for another remake, but then again, after winning fans over with a fresh version of the most beloved game in the canon, it makes sense for Bloober to go back to the start and reimagine Silent Hill's origins in its own image. We'll bring you everything there is to know about Silent Hill Remake as and when more details stagger out of the shadows.

Until then, enjoy the best survival games, or maybe the best zombie games on PC.
