The PR rep spoke with Rely on Horror, the outlet that originally reported on those rumors as well.
The rep said:
After this initial response, Rely on Horror followed up with more specific requests for clarification. They asked the U.S. PR agent whether that meant both the rumored projects — the Silent Hill reboot Kojima Productions was reportedly handling and the one Sony Japan was working on — were completely false. However, they received no response.
It’s not to say we are completely closing the door on the franchise, just not in the way it is being reported.
PR is a tricky beast, especially in entertainment. Silence could mean many things. On the other hand, given the nature of the response, Silent Hill remakes might be in the works, “just not in the way it is being reported.” Given that second part of the response, we’re rather inclined to go with that option.
Either way, rumors are rumors until proven true with actual announcements. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Silent Hill remake news as it develops.
