Return to Silent Hill is coming to theaters next January
The third Silent Hill movie is still heading to theaters. According to Deadline , Return to Silent Hill will premiere on January 23, 2026. The film is directed by Christophe Gans, who also helmed the original 2006 adaptation. Return to Silent Hill is based on the 2001 game Silent Hill 2 . (Bloober Team's 2024 remake was one of our favorite games of the year.) The movie adaptation stars Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson. Akira Yamaoka, the game franchise's original composer, handles the score. Like the game it's based on, the film's protagonist is James Sunderland (Irvine). After a crushing breakup with Mary (Anderson), James lives up to the billing and… returns to Silent Hill. What he finds is a town transformed by a mysterious evil. As James searches for Mary, he faces terrifying creatures and unravels the truth. Psychological horror commences. In 2022, Gans told IGN that it's "totally independent" from the last two films. "Silent Hill is a bit like Twilight Zone, the Fourth Dimension, a place where anything and everything can happen," he said. In an interview with Le Point , Gans added that he wrote the screenplay during pandemic lockdowns. "I shot it in early 2023," he said (translated from French). "The film was supposed to be finalized in April 2024, but because of the executive producers, it dragged on, and I finished it last January." (Shots fired.) The movie doesn't yet have a full theatrical trailer. But you can check out its 2022 teaser trailer below. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

Konami Stock (9766) Jumps on Silent Hill Remake Announcement
Konami (JP:9766) stock jumped on Friday after the video game company announced a remake of Silent Hill, the first title in its long-running horror game series. This remake will be handled by Bloober Team, the development studio behind the 2024 remake of Silent Hill 2. Additionally, NeoBards Entertainment is working on a new entry in the series, titled Silent Hill f, set to be released on Sept. 25, 2025. Confident Investing Starts Here: Konami didn't reveal much in the way of details about its Silent Hill remake. However, it could be a huge success for the company if it follows in the footsteps of the Silent Hill 2 remake. The video game developer is taking a page out of Capcom's (CCOEF) book, which has attracted gamers with its remakes of Resident Evil games. It makes sense that Konami would want to cash in on the recent success Capcom has seen, and Silent Hill is the perfect way to do it. Both Silent Hill and Resident Evil started on Sony's (SONY) original PlayStation back in the 90s and spawned a large collection of sequels and spinoffs. If there's any series out there that can rival Resident Evil, it's Silent Hill. Konami Stock Movement Today Investors appear pleased with Konami's plans to remake Silent Hill. Shares of 9766 jumped 2.52% on the news alongside a trading volume that was roughly double the company's three-month daily average. The recent rally also extended positive 2025 movement for Konami, with shares up 39.36% year-to-date. Is Konami Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Konami is Strong Buy, based on four Buy and a single Hold rating over the past three months. With that comes an average 9766 price target of ¥20,168, representing a potential 1.74% downside for the shares.

Konami Confirms SILENT HILL 1 Remake with Bloober Team — GeekTyrant
Konami isn't done resurrecting Silent Hill projects. During their latest Press Start showcase, the publisher officially confirmed that the original Silent Hill (1999) is getting a full remake, and the team behind the recent Silent Hill 2 remake, Bloober Team, is developing the game. The reveal came via a brief but haunting teaser, with music pulled straight from the original game, a nod to longtime fans who know exactly what that tune signals. Originally released in 1999, Silent Hill introduced players to Harry Mason, a father searching for his missing adopted daughter, Cheryl, in the fog-drenched, cult-riddled town of Silent Hill. What starts as a desperate search slowly unravels into something far more disturbing, as Harry is pulled into a world of occult rituals and psychological horror. I stayed up all night with a friend of mine playing this game, and it scared the hell out of us, and it was one of my most memorable gaming experiences. The game was the foundation for what would become one of gaming's most iconic horror franchises, and while Silent Hill 2 tends to get all the critical love, the original game's eerie storytelling and dread-soaked design laid the groundwork. It makes sense that Konami and Bloober would want to bring new players back to where it all started—especially if the plan is to revisit Silent Hill 3 , which is directly tied to the first game's narrative. While the announcement didn't include a release date, the renewed partnership between Bloober Team and Konami seems to signal a long-term investment in Silent Hill's legacy. As for what's coming next, Silent Hill f is still on track for release on September 25, 2025. That standalone entry follows Shimizu Hinako as she fights off horrifying creatures in a twisted version of the fictional Japanese town Ebisugaoka. It promises a very different flavor of horror, but with the same mind-bending atmosphere the franchise is known for. Watch the trailer below. It starts at the 35:26 timestamp.

Konami and Bloober Team working on a remake of Silent Hill 1: What we know
Japanese video game developer Konami has announced a remake of Silent Hill 1, which is a 1999 survival horror video game. The developer at Konami Press Start Live showcase revealed that this remake is officially in development at Bloober Team, the developer that handled the Silent Hill 2 remake. As of now, no release date has been announced for the game. The showcase also featured a spotlight on Silent Hill F, the upcoming instalment in the franchise, which is scheduled to release on September 25. Marking a first for the series, this chapter is set in Japan. During the segment, the developers offered insight into the game's creative process, revealing the inspirations behind its eerie design. Judging by what was shown, the game promises a deeply unsettling experience. Silent Hill 1: What is it? Silent Hill (1999) is a psychological survival-horror game developed by Team Silent and published by Konami for the PlayStation platform. Players control Harry Mason, an ordinary father searching for his missing adopted daughter, Cheryl, in the fog-shrouded town of Silent Hill. The game uses a third-person perspective with fixed camera angles and cleverly utilises darkness and thick fog to mask the graphics while amplifying tension. Players navigate the eerie environment, solve puzzles, manage scarce ammunition, and fend off grotesque monstrosities using a limited arsenal of melee and ranged weapons. Critically acclaimed as a defining title in the survival-horror genre, Silent Hill was praised for its atmospheric storytelling and emotional depth. Rather than relying on jump scares or action-heavy sequences, it delivers a pervasive sense of dread through sound design, unsettling visuals, and a haunting storyline involving a cult performing dark rituals. The narrative offers multiple endings based on in-game decisions, ranging from terrifying to unexpectedly quirky, setting a precedent for deeper, choice-driven horror experiences.
