New images of an alleged "Silent Hill 2" remake have surfaced on Twitter. The remake of the Playstation 2 classic could be presented as early as this month at the Tokyo Game Show.

The rumour mill surrounding the Japanese horror game series "Silent Hill" has been bubbling for quite a while. According to industry insider Dusk Golem, several games are being developed by different studios. Now, for the first time, images of one of the projects have surfaced on Twitter. The pixelated screenshots allegedly come from the early production phase of a "Silent Hill 2" remake.

The screenshots are from Twitter user @the_marmolade.

The remake has been in development at indie studio Bloober Team since 2018, according to the latest rumours. The Polish company has already developed some high-profile horror games with "Layers of Fear", "Blair Witch" and "The Medium"
.
Fans of "Silent Hill" have been waiting years for a sign of life from the iconic horror franchise. The last game in the series ("Silent Hill: Downpour") was released in 2012 and was a bitter disappointment for critics and fans alike due to its immature gameplay mechanics and numerous bugs.

The game is being developed by Hideo Hideo.

The reboot of the series developed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Torro was completely cancelled by publisher Konami in 2014. Only the demo called "PT" saw the light of day, but it is no longer available. So far, Konami has not commented on any rumours of a new edition of the game.

There may be hope for a reboot.

The "Silent Hill" community can draw some hope from the announcement at the Tokyo Game Show by Konami. In addition to the usual suspects ("Yu-Gi-Oh", "Bomberman" and "eFootball"), Konami will present a previously unannounced game from a "globally popular franchise". Whether it will be the "Silent Hill 2" remake or a new edition of another Konami game series will be revealed on 15 September in Tokyo.
