Well, those rumours were good while they lasted.

After talk of Konami receiving pitches for new Silent Hill games, fans have understandably gotten their hopes up. However, when RelyonHorror reached out to Konami to confirm such rumours, a North American PR representative for the developer stated that the rumours were simply “not true.”

“We’re aware of all the rumors and reports but can confirm that they are not true. I know it’s not the answer your fans may want to hear,” said the Konami US PR rep. The rep also reiterated that Konami haven’t closed the door on the series entirely, acknowledging that it’s still alive in some capacity.

While it’s just another blow to fans who are probably tired of the whole thing, there is at least some consolation in the form of Christophe Gans and his upcoming Silent Hill film sequel, alongside a Fatal Frame adaptation.
