Finally the silence has been broken on the fate of Silent Hills and unfortunately it's not good news.
As you're most likely now aware, yesterday (April 27th) a tweet from Photojournalist Matt Hackney who attended San Francisco Film Festival stated that Guillermo Del Toro is no longer working on Silent Hills via this tweet:

Not long after it was reported by IGN that this tweet had been misinterpretated and in fact the collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Del Toro was what wasn't going to happen.
Along with this actor Norman Redus later tweeted that he was "Super bummed" that Silent Hills was no longer happening.

Adding to the fact P.T is now being removed from the Playstation Network it really wasn't looking good and I for one was accepting Silent Hills was never to be. As of today Konami have finally spoken out about Silent Hills and have confirmed our worst fears.
A statement released to Kotaku.com confirms Silent Hills is indeed cancelled. Fortunately it's not all doom and gloom as they have stated that talks are currently underway with Del Toro and Kojima, there is just no more Redus in the picture.

Konami is committed to new Silent Hill titles, however the embryonic ‘Silent Hills’ project developed with Guillermo del Toro and featuring the likeness of Norman Reedus will not be continued.
In terms of Kojima and Del Toro being involved, discussions on future Silent Hill projects are currently underway, and please stay tuned for further announcements"
Konami are not giving up on Silent Hill yet which is great news and the fact it would appear Del Toro and Kojima are still somewhat in the picture is also good to hear. As to what we can expect now though is a total mystery and once again we will just have to play the waiting game.
RIP Silent Hills
