Bloober Team has recently announced a new partnership with Konami to develop a game based on one of the Japanese company's IPs, following the successful launch of the Silent Hill 2 remake. Although the specifics of the new project remain under wraps, the collaboration hints at another venture into the horror genre, likely within the Silent Hill franchise, given Bloober's expertise and the success of their previous work.

Piotr Babieno, CEO of Bloober Team, shared insights into their ongoing relationship with Konami:

Konami, a legendary name in the gaming industry, sought a partner who could breathe new life into one of its most iconic franchises — Silent Hill. Bloober Team was selected for their expertise in horror and atmospheric storytelling, and in 2021, both companies signed a partnership agreement. In October 2022, during the official Silent Hill Transmission livestream, it was announced that Bloober Team was working on a remake of Silent Hill 2, widely regarded as one of the best psychological horror games in history.

The success of the remake proved that Bloober Team had perfectly captured the atmosphere and depth of the original while introducing crucial innovations. The game was well-received by players, earning an 86/100 rating on Metacritic and an 88/100 on OpenCritic, along with numerous awards, including Game of the Year 2024 from IGN Japan and Best Horror Game of the Year from the IGN Community Awards.

The trust built upon the success of Silent Hill 2 laid the foundation for signing another agreement for a new project. The deal aligns with Bloober Team’s strategic plan to expand its internal development division within a first-party framework.

Our collaboration with Konami has been incredibly fruitful, and the success of Silent Hill 2 speaks for itself. By sharing knowledge and experience, we have been able to create high-quality production together. Of course, we can't reveal too many details at this time, but we are confident that fans will be just as excited about our collaboration as we are. We can't wait to share something truly special with players when the time is right.

The Silent Hill 2 remake, released on October 8, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, quickly sold one million copies, potentially making it the fastest-selling Silent Hill game to date, though Konami has yet to confirm this. IGN's review of the Silent Hill 2 remake gave it an 8/10, praising it as "a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror."

As Konami continues to expand the Silent Hill franchise, other projects like Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall are also in development. Additionally, a film adaptation of Silent Hill 2 is on the horizon, and PC modders are enhancing the Silent Hill 2 remake with various modifications.

The big question remains: what will this new Bloober game for Konami be? Whether it's a new installment or a remake within the Silent Hill series, anticipation is high.
