The emotional rollercoaster that is the Silent Hills saga is beginning to spin wildly out of control. First the P.T. demo is released and people figuratively – and in some cases literally – shit their pants over how cool it is. Then it becomes crystal clear that it’s essentially a long teaser for a new Silent Hill entry. Only for this game they’ve got Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro, and Norman Reedus attached, which basically blew up the gaming world. Then it all came crashing down when Kojima and Konami went their separate ways and the title was officially cancelled. Or was it?

Tweeting about a fan petition that is nearly 200,000 signatures, del Toro issued an interesting statement about the game, saying “…Hay esperanzas para #SilentHills“, which translates to “There is hope for #SilentHills“.

Now, it should absolutely be noted that this is NOT a verified Twitter account and that there are some suspicious aspects surrounding this page. For example, the Twitter bio leads to a fan website. Additionally, some tweets are simply past quotes from del Toro. However, it’s nice to have that little bit of hope.
