Konami’s Team Silent, sadly, no longer exists, and so development is being handled by Bloober Team, a studio that now styles itself as a specialist in horror. Bloober CEO Piotr Babieno is ambitious about what the developer can achieve on a project with a larger scale than it’s typically worked on, and has recently been talking about moving beyond the oft-derided term of “walking simulator” in how it sets up and spooks out players.
Babieno also went on, perhaps unsurprisingly, to defend Konami, the Japanese publisher behind Silent Hill which has, in recent years, been letting a whole bunch of beloved gaming series gather dust. Konami’s reputation among elements of the gaming community is, however unfairly, at an all-time low, and the hangover from Hideo Kojima’s acrimonious departure continues to this day.
