Silent Hill 2 remake wranglers Bloober Crew have emerged from the newly high-resolution, volumetric fog to threaten us with the prospect of one other “sport based mostly on Konami’s IP”. Thank heavens, I used to be starting to assume we might by no means get a brand new Frogger. Regardless of the undertaking is, we cannot hear about it for some time.
However in fact I’m not really suggesting that Bloober are making a Frogger sport, you candy summer time baby! Take a look at you, all confused and alarmed and brandishing a chair over your head. Settle down, the frogs are all in your thoughts. The Silent Hill 2 remake has been successful for Konami, and Bloober present no indicators of wanting to maneuver on from the horror style. As such, it appears possible that Konami are handing them the keys to a different Silent Hill undertaking.
“Our collaboration with Konami has been extremely fruitful, and the success of Silent Hill 2 speaks for itself,” Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Crew, commented in a launch. “By sharing data and expertise, we have now been capable of create high-quality manufacturing collectively. After all, we won’t reveal too many particulars at the moment, however we’re assured that followers will probably be simply as enthusiastic about our collaboration as we’re. We will not wait to share one thing really particular with gamers when the time is correct.
“The belief constructed upon the success of Silent Hill 2 laid the muse for signing one other settlement for a brand new undertaking,” he continued. “The deal aligns with Bloober Crew’s strategic plan to develop its inner growth division inside a first-party framework.”
Assuming it is one other Silent Hill outing, it is in all probability one other remake. Maybe it is the unique Silent Hill, although Bloober pushed again on the concept of remaking Silent Hill 1 once I spoke to them in particular person, commenting that they really feel a selected inventive kinship for the primary sequel.
After all, they did inform me that in the end, it is Konami’s name, and Konami are fairly keen on enjoying the hits proper now. The brand new sport may be a model new Hill, however Konami have a number of of these within the works already, and might not be inclined to additional unfold their bets.
Both means, it is quids in for Bloober, who get to bolster their fame and funds by working inside the Konamiverse, whereas pushing forward with their newest authentic sport, the Useless Spacey time-traveller Cronos: The New Daybreak. Good for them, I say. Maybe in the event that they hold wowing Konami, they’re going to find yourself making a Steel Gear Strong sport. Haha, no, however significantly: please put the chair down.
