Sadly, no, P.T. isn't back.
Wednesday October 19th, the Silent Hill Transmission Livestream took place at 2PM PST/5PM EST with thousands of people watching around the world in hopes for news of a new Silent Hill game, a remaster or P.T. to make a comeback (as seen the most in the livestream chat across YouTube channels). I will be writing this article as things release or are mentioned!
At 4:55PM EST, a countdown began of 5 minutes and the Silent Hill ambience sounds kicked in as well as their theme. Chat absolutely loses it and I keep seeing more of "please let there be a remake!".
Livestream
The livestream kicked off strong with the announcement of a remake of Silent Hill 2 (21 years later!), being developed by indie game studio, Bloober Team (Layers of Fear, Observer) and will be available for PS5 and Steam. With Masahiro Ito back as a creature designer and the music of composer Akira Yamaoka.
"Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: SILENT HILL. There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to her... "My name...is Maria," the woman smiles. Her face, her voice... She's just like her. Experience a master-class in psychological survival horror―lauded as the best in the series―on the latest hardware with chilling visuals and visceral sounds."
The scene changes to a darker environment to unveil a new trailer. Konami and Annapurna Interactive team up with game developers No Code, to create Silent Hill: Townfall.
Scene changes and now we are in the streets of Silent Hill, assistant producer and head of IP and cross-media development for Silent Hill, Rui Naito, appears to talk about the Silent Hill film adaptation titled "Return to Silent Hill" which will be directed by Christophe Gans (who directed the 2006 film adaptation of Silent Hill) and produced by Victor Hadida (producer of Silent Hill films and Resident Evil film franchise). In the livestream, it was mentioned this film adaptation will be more linear to the videogames. And yes, pyramid head is back! Filming and casting is still in the works as of October 2022.
