Summary

  • Following Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, the studio is working on a new collaboration with Konami for another project.
  • The success of Silent Hill 2 remake resulted in Bloober Team being trusted with the new Konami IP.
  • While details remain scarce, fans can look forward to something “truly special” from the upcoming Konami-related project.

As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share that the team behind the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2, Bloober Team, has teamed up with Konami again for another venture based on their intellectual property. The Silent Hill 2 remake, crafted from scratch, was warmly welcomed in October 2024 and served as a testament to the fruitful partnership between the Polish studio and the legendary Japanese gaming giant.

Bloober Team is well-versed in creating horror games, boasting a variety of titles from Layers of Fear to The Medium. In 2021, they took on the challenge of reimagining one of the most acclaimed survival horror games ever made, Silent Hill 2, for Konami. They announced the remake project in the following year and released it in 2024. Upon its debut, Silent Hill 2 garnered critical acclaim from every corner and surpassed two million sales by January 2025. With such a successful launch, the owners of the Silent Hill IP have now collaborated with Bloober Team developers for another captivating game.

According to recent news, Bloober Team has entered into an agreement allowing them to develop a new game using an intellectual property owned and distributed by Konami. This collaboration follows a series of successful projects, and Bloober Team attributes Konami’s trust in their abilities to the exceptional reception of last year’s highly-rated remake of Silent Hill 2. The partnership aligns with Bloober Team’s strategy to expand its internal development team within a first-party structure. Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno did not disclose specific details about the upcoming Konami project, but he expressed his enthusiasm for it. He hinted that something extraordinary would be revealed to eager fans at the appropriate time.

Bloober Team to Work on Another Konami IP After Silent Hill

Though neither Konami nor Bloober Team have publicly confirmed their collaborative project, there are plausible assumptions we can make. If we consider a simple scenario, it’s possible that they are discussing another iteration of the popular horror series, Silent Hill. On the other hand, considering the expertise of Bloober Team in the horror genre, and if this collaboration is taking a new direction, it seems likely that the game could be another horror title, even though it may not necessarily be connected to the Silent Hill Intellectual Property.

Following the announcement of the deal with Konami, it can be deduced that there is still some time left before Bloober Team takes major steps regarding this partnership. Nevertheless, in the short term, the studio will release “Cronos: The New Dawn”, a survival horror game, by the end of 2025. Additionally, apart from working on their collaboration with Konami, the team behind the Silent Hill 2 remake is also making progress on another project, which could potentially be another joint effort.
