Det har mildest talt været forvirrende at holde styr på alle de rygter der har svirret omkring Silent Hill-serien de sidste par uger. Adskillige historier slap ud, som blandt andet slog fast at Sony samarbejder med Konami om et PlayStation-eksklusivt kapitel, men Konami sagde derefter, at der ikke var hold i det rygte.
Men nu byder en meget etableret insider ind med nyt i sagen, og han slår først og fremmest fast at der faktisk er hold i historien om et eksklusivt samarbejde imellem Konami og Sony, der betyder at spillet er eksklusivt til PlayStation, men at det faktisk udvikles internt hos Sony Japan. Insideren Dusk Golem siger følgende på ResetEra.
"Sony had the thought and talked with Konami still looking to fund two SH games that they could get in contact and develop a game. Toyama would be able to make a horror game like he wanted, it'd be behind an IP many would like to see Toyama work on and has more market share than Siren or another new IP does, Konami just want a quality SH game to help their reputation get back on track and been shipping around for the "right pitch". The deal was negotiated in early 2019, Sony Japan Studio is developing it composed of the Siren/Gravity Rush team, but they also contacted a lot of people who worked on Silent Hill previously to help with it, which is why people like Akira and Masahiro Ito are on board as well."
Ifølge Dusk Golem betaler både Konami og Sony for udviklingen, og angiveligt bliver det konkrete slør for deres planer løftet senere på året.
