‘Silent Hill’ Publisher Konami Enters a Strategic Partnership With ‘The Medium’ Developer Bloober Team

Horror

Could it truly be that Polish developer Bloober Team’s The Medium was an audition for making a Silent Hill game for Konami after all? The chances of it being the case have certainly increased with the news that the developer and publisher have entered a cooperative agreement to make something together and learn from each other.

The agreement will see the duo jointly develop ‘select contents and exchange know-how’. This naturally led to a lot of speculation that Bloober is the Western developer believed to be working on a Silent Hill game (with a Japanese studio making another one), but the language in the statement leaves it a little vague as to exactly what Bloober will be doing for Konami.

After the ‘conspiracy’ concerning indie game Abandoned being Silent Hill, this has made a few folks upset online, while others are keenly not into Bloober’s brand of horror, and understandably are a bit touchy about the idea of a Western developer handling Silent Hill again given the ‘erratic’ track record.

If Bloober is going to take on a reboot of the classic psychological horror series, it’d back up its aspirations to be ‘the Blumhouse of horror games‘.
