There’s been plenty of speculation that perhaps this is another Hideo Kojima attempt to surprise fans with Silent Hills returning and a partnership with Konami. Of course, there’s been plenty of attempts online to kill off this theory, but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating that this game is attached to be a Silent Hill video game of sorts. For now, all we can do is wait and see, but with as many teases and rumors circulating online, there’s bound to be plenty of fans who will be ecstatic if this franchise makes an appearance.
