During the recent State of Play presentation that took place on January 31, 2024, Konami Shadow Dropped Silent Hill: The Short Message for PlayStation 5. This title is a new, modern Silent Hill, and looks like it’s already a great success just a week in.

Konami announced that Silent Hill: The Short Message has reached over 1 million downloads already in its early life on PlayStation 5.

“We wanted to make a new, modern Silent Hill. As part of that we explored how we could incorporate contemporary problems. We ended up looking at how modern youth communicate online and through phones, and the role that could play in a psychological horror story. For instance, a frightening thing about social media is how even insignificant individual comments can, en masse, build and build until they become this overwhelming wave of hate crashing down on you.”

Are you excited about the future of Silent Hill games?
