Silent Hills Director Gives Hope for a Series' Return
The announcement of a new Silent Hill is nowhere to be seen, but director Guillermo del Toro dropped an interesting reference to the series during The Game Awards 2021.
Silent Hill series may have some complaints, as their favorite did not appear during the broadcast. Well, almost.
One of the guests of TGA 2021 was Guilermo del Toro, who appeared at the event in a pre-recorded video. After Hideo Kojima introduced the director, the filmmaker revealed the winner of the gala's "Best Art Direction" category and presented a trailer for his new project, called Nightmare Alley.
In addition, del Toro briefly mentioned a brand whose artistic direction is close to his heart. We are talking about Silent Hill, which the director hopes to see again in a new installment.
Of course, it's possible that the filmmaker was simply stating a wish rather than referring to a specific, as yet undisclosed project. Still, the mention of a de facto dead series at The Game Awards, even though the series didn't otherwise appear at the event, seems suspicious. Especially since, as mentioned, the director's video was preceded by a video with Hideo Kojima, who was developing the last major , although canceled project set in the Silent Hill universe.
We should also recall the rumors about the return of not only Silent Hill but also Metal Gear. In October of this year, leaks announced survival horror from the father of Silent Hill.
