This is shaping up to be a big year for the Silent Hill series. Konami’s horror franchise got a new, free entry earlier this year as a surprise release, and a film and more games are on the way. And now, we’re set to learn more about all of those upcoming projects at a Silent Hill Transmission livestream that will be held ahead of the summer’s biggest gaming showcases.

To watch the Silent Hill Transmission live this Thursday, you’ll have to tune into the official YouTube account for Silent Hill. A video placeholder for the showcase has not yet been set by Konami, but I will embed it above once video is available.

What to expect from the Silent Hill Transmission

For now, Konami is just saying that it will “share game updates, a deeper look at the film, and new merch” during the Silent Hill Transmission. The film referenced is Return to Silent Hill, which is helmed by the director of the 2006 Silent Hill film, Christophe Gans. It was filmed last year and was previewed at the Cannes Film Festival, so a release seems somewhat imminent. Its story is based on that of Silent Hill 2; hopefully, we’ll learn more about that during the show.

On the video game front, Bloober Team encouraged people to tune in, as it’s likely that we’ll get an update on the Silent Hill 2 remake that is set for release sometime in 2024. Hopefully, we’ll also get updates on other upcoming games in the series, such as Annapurna Interactive’s Silent Hill: Townfall and NeoBards Entertainment’s Silent Hill f. There are bound to be some surprises as well, so Silent Hill fans will definitely want to tune into this showcase on May 30.

Silent Hill 2 remake players just discovered a huge secret

One of the most confounding additions to the Silent Hill 2 remake are the Polaroid photos you find throughout the game. They're abstract, often depicting blurry close-ups of things like flowers, footprints, dirty walls, and other hard to dentify objects. They work as a collectible, but the game doesn't offer an explanation. However, one Reddit user seems to have cracked the code. Not only do they feature a secret message, but it seems to confirm a longtime fan theory about the nature of Silent Hill and protagonist James Sunderland's story.

A post on the Silent Hill subreddit by user DaleRobinson breaks down the actual code hidden across each photo. If you look at the numbers on the back of each photo and line them up in numerical order, you'll spot a pattern. Each photo has up to six subjects. If you count the letters based on the number of objects, record a letter. Go through all 26 and it'll spell out a message: "You've been here for two decades."

This has been a hectic month for Sony. It hit massive highs with the reception of Astro Bot and the reveal of the PlayStation 5 Pro but also saw astronomical lows with the shuttering of Concord and backlash toward the PS5 Pro's $700 price tag. Now, it's capping off this month with a new State of Play ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2024.

Ahead of the Silent Hill 2 remake launch next month, a long-running community project that was one of the best ways to play the original is coming to a close. The team behind Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition announced over the weekend that they're releasing its 10th and final update.

The project's end has been in the works for around two years, according to a post on X (formerly Twitter), and the team is "satisfied" with the work they've done.
