Some more salt on the wounds of us looking forward to the latest addition to the Silent Hill franchise. Guillermo del Toro revealed on Twitter that famed Japanese Horror Manga artist Junji Ito, whose works include Uzumaki and Gyo, was a collaborator on the cancelled PS4 exclusive: Silent Hills.
The game, which featured the talents of Hideo Kojima (
Metal Gear Solid Franchise), Guillermo del Toro (
Hellboy franchise,
Pan's Labyrinth,
Crimson Peak), and Norman Reedus (
The Walking Dead,
The Boondock Saints), became highly anticipated earlier this year due to the terrifying "Playable Teaser" known as
PT. Unfrotunately, due to internal conflicts with publishing company
Konami and their shifting focus on mobile and gambling games, Silent Hills was cancelled this past April.
As a gamer and as a fan of the horror genre in generally, it's sad to think of what this game could have been.
Are you all as disappointed as I am? What do you think of this recent reveal? Does this confirm Joker is Jason Todd? Do you think PenguinMonk is a stupid name? Leave your comments below.
