Silent Hills marked del Toro's second axed game project, following the cancellation of inSANE by defunct publisher THQ. The game receieved a playable teaser in the form of P.T., which was removed from the PlayStation Store prior to confirmation of Silents Hills' shelving. 

Kojima has reportedly left Konami following the release of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, but the publisher insists he's merely taking an extended break after the game's launch.

Tensions between Konami and Kojima have been rising all year, with the cancellation of Silent Hills and the removal of the Kojima Productions logo from The Phantom Pain's box. It's understood that Kojima has a non-compete clause in his contract, which means that if he truly has left the company he cannot sign with another developer until at least December.
