The beloved
Silent Hill franchise is being rebooted by game auteur Hideo Kojima in collaboration with noted film director Guillermo del Toro (Pacific Rim.)
The game was teased as simply "
P.T." during today's Sony press conference at Gamescom, but was more fully revealed in a playable demo released to the PlayStation Store today.
There's a kick if you complete the demo, though, as seen in this
Twitch stream recording (
via Polygon) -- the game is really called
Silent Hills. The game will feature The Walking Dead TV star
Norman Reedus (pictured).
The game appears to be a reboot of the
Silent Hill franchise, which first debuted on the original PlayStation in 1998. Series creator Akira Yamaoka
left Konami for Grasshopper Manufacture in 2010. Ever since
Silent Hill 4, the last game in the franchise developed at Konami's Japan HQ, a variety of Western studios have contributed games to the series.
