Internet thinks new Silent Hill might be an FPS

Developer Vatra might be ready to rebo𒅌ot the franchise... 𝐆or not

Is the next Silent Hill a first-person shooter? The internet sure as hellthinks so right now, and debate is alrไeady raging on sites from to to to to about whether the change would be good or bad for the series. It certainly seems believable; the series has been trending toward action for some time ꦬnow, with games like Silent Hill: Homecoming and Silent Hill: The Arcade trading slow-burn fear for sudden scares and accurate gunplay. But is there really any meat to this story, or is everyone getting worked up over nothing?

Sure, lots of blogs and news sites are reporting on this right now, but the news didn't originate with them. Nor did it originate with, to which several si💜tes have been linking. If you follow the links, they ultimately trace back to one source:from last week, which in turn says the news that the next Silent Hill would be anFPScame fromand a PDF found on

- has apparently been yanked from the web. While that seems like a sure sign that Something Is Up, all the image reallysays is that developer Vatra is capable of creating FPS and action games.Nowhere does it ⭕directly say that either of𒊎 the two projects in development (which have since been revealed as the next Silent Hill and Rush'N Attack Ex-Patriot) are an FPS.

At that, theon Gamasutra says only that the company is developing the next Silent Hill, and has no mention of the words "FPS" or "shooter" at a🐽ll. , for its part, says only that the com♓pany is working on "two unnanounced titles" (which havesince been announced).Other than that, there's no reliable source that suggests the next Silent Hill is an FPS, despite nearly every gaming outlet on the planet posting a story that says just that. It could also be that Vatra asked for the PDF to be pulled after this news broke, hoping to cover its tracks so its E3 reveal of a new first-person Silent Hill can still have some impact.

So what does all this mean? It's certainly not unlikely the next Silent Hill will be an FPS, but it's also possible someone made a connection that wasn't there (maybe spurred on by the terrifying announcement of an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询: XCOM FPS) and the internet ran with it. With no official word from Konami or Vatra, we'll just have to wait and see. Either way, one thing is certain: the news prompted seemingly everyone to creat🌠e their own silly mockups of what a🅘 Silent Hill shooter would look like (including us!). Our own effort is above, but here are a couple of the better ones from other outlets:

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
