In the past few hours the news has emerged that Bloober Team, Polish software house behind Layers of Fear, Observer, Blair Witch and the recent The Medium, would be working on a new horror IP from “a very famous publisher“. Although no name has been mentioned, many clues lead to the much anticipated and talked about reboot / new chapter of Silent Hill, which is expected to be officially unveiled this summer. But that's not all, since Andy Robinson of VGC released further details on the subject, revealing that Konami is looking to outsource the development of Metal Gear Solid e Castlevania to other third party studios.
According to what emerged from the tweet, which you can easily retrieve at the bottom of the article, Andy said that the projects in question would still be in the early stages of development, precisely in the planning phase, therefore their debut on gaming peripherals could take several more years. Although at the moment these are simple rumors, we remind you to take the information disseminated by Robinson with due precautions, but certainly the hypothesis that Konami is seriously considering bringing back some of its thicker IPs absolutely bodes well for fans of the Japanese giant, hoping that. Waiting to find out more details on the story, we report below the complete tweet of the well-known videogame journalist:
- Konami would be carefully considering the outsourcing of their IPs, after the flop of MG Survive and Contra.
- Supermassive's Silent Hill has been transformed into Dark Pictures.
- Plans to outsource Castlevania and MGS as well.
I've updated my Silent Hill piece with additional context on Konami's strategy, via well-placed sources:
- Konami cooled on outsourcing IPs after MG Survive & Contra flops
- Supermassive Silent Hill pitch turned into Dark Pictures
- Plans to outsource Castlevania & MGS too
