Naturally, the team opted for a supernatural horror game set in a sleepy little American town, which would become the titular Silent Hill. Development of the first game started in September 1996, with the intention to create a game that would be successful in the West. Silent Hill’s history begins within Konami. Today, finally, we’re asking the question: will we ever see a new Silent Hill game?
