Silent Hill, the mysterious and unsettling town crying out for a city council, made a major splash during PlayStation’s State of Play. Two thrilling new trailers were revealed, alongside a surprise drop of a new, free-to-play game.
The highlight of the event was the unveiling of Silent Hill: The Short Message, a brand new addition to the Silent Hill series. As detailed on PlayStation’s blog, The Short Message is a brief, experimental, free-to-play game designed to introduce newcomers to the eerie allure of the foggy town. While the name was only just disclosed, leaked information in 2022 already included details of The Short Message, including screenshots and the names of the main characters — Anita and Maya. From the newly released trailer, it seems the leaks were indeed spot on.
Following the reveal of The Short Message, Konami also treated viewers to a thrilling combat trailer for Silent Hill 2.
More than a year had passed since the last update from Konami about the Silent Hill 2 remake. Announced in October 2022 and led by The Medium developer, Bloober Team, the project was eagerly anticipated. While Konami remained tight-lipped about a release date for Silent Hill 2, only stating that it was “in development,” the announcement that The Short Message would be available for immediate download here.
Update January 31st, 2024 6:28 PM ET: Updated the story include that Silent Hill: The Short Message, is now available for download.
