Masashi Tsuboyama, lead designer of the Silent Hill series, has confirmed that Konami is planning to release a fifth episode of the popular survival-horror franchise. At this early stage of proceedings, very little more is known. Tsuboyama-san did however state that, “It won’t be on the current consoles.” So that means Silent Hill 5 will be heading to PS3 or Xbox 2, or maybe even the next Nintendo console?
Back in the here and now, Silent Hill fans are still awaiting the release of the fourth incarnation – The Room - which should be with us by the end of September. It’s looking quite impressive and suitably chilling, and any proposed sequel is sure to be even more so.
