Bloober Team has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated Silent Hill 1 Remake is now in full production. The announcement came during a recent Q&A session with investors, providing long-awaited clarity for fans who have been following the project since Konami first revealed the remake in partnership with the Polish studio.

While no release window or gameplay footage was shared, the update signals that the project has moved beyond the early stages and is being actively developed.

According to Bloober Team's management, the studio currently operates with two internal first-party production teams. One is dedicated entirely to Silent Hill 1 Remake, while the other is working on a separate, undisclosed project. Beyond these in-house efforts, the company is also managing five additional titles through second-party collaborations, resulting in a busy slate of development.

The investor session also touched on Bloober Team's original IP, Cronos: The New Dawn. The game reportedly sold around 200,000 units over its premiere weekend, with PlayStation consoles accounting for the majority of sales and Steam representing roughly 25 percent. Physical sales data is still incomplete.

Looking forward to it. Hope it is not too much of a departure from the original and the wall break, slow realtime lock release, and movable bins from the remake of two are gone completely.

 

[Self_Destructive]

Man... Cronos deserves better than ~200K. Should have doubled that at least. Steam also not representing very well... only 5.2K CCUs. The game came out at a tough time though with tons of other quality releases either out or just around the corner.. so hopefully sales remain consistent for a while.

YESSSSSSS! I can't wait to see footage. It's game well worth a remake, and not just because of its age.

 

[Arsic]

Day one.

Bloober gets the day one always pass now. Hope the other project is Cronos 2.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Remake Silent Hill 3 after this and you got the remakes of the two best Silent Hill games.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Can't wait, the best SH

 

[EN250]

I was never convinced by boober team handling this IP, but SH2R turned out great and I can't wait for this one

[luca_29_bg]

I can't wait ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, so i can wash my mouth of that trash F! Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!

 

[dave_d]

I'm up for it. I never could get into the original SH1 mostly because it seemed they were trying to do graphics the PSX wasn't capable of. (The fog and pixilation just made it look lousy, not creepy)

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Could not be more on board after SH2R and Cronos. I hope we can still get a sequel to Cronos even though it isn't setting any charts on fire. Love both these games.

 

[lastmessiah]

They really need to re-envision this to make it work for contemporary audiences. As much as I like the first game, the dialogue was awkward and the narrative pretty hokey. Bloober is gonna test their writing chops with this one.

 

[Rambone]

I'm looking forward to it. While I played the original SH2, I never got around to playing SH1, so I will be going into it pretty fresh.

 

[Memati187]

After SH2R, Cronos and now SH1R, this Studio may replace Insomniac for me.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

We knew it's coming when they said they're doing it, but now it basically means that SH3R is a given as well. Man it's so good to be alive to witness Survival Horror renaissance. The genre after SH4 took a noise dive and ended up in coma only to weak up half a decade+ ago.

Silent Hill 1 was incredible back when I've played it, but it was ahead of its time and PS just couldn't properly show it and let us experience it in its full glory. Still, I ended up loving the game for what it was and its in very capable hands now, so I don't have to worry about it at all.

Hopefully they'll remake 4 as well and make it better, cuz it's not a bad game, it's just it needed more time and tweaking to be great and I'm sure Bloober will find a way to fix all of it's issues with Konami also knowing what they did wrong back then.

BLOOBER! KONAMI! For the love of fuck contact Hideaki Sena, make a good deal with him, give him full creative control over the story and revive Parasite Eve ffs!

 

[Dirk Benedict]

YES! BLOOBER! Day One Deluxe Ultra Edition and I will buy one to give away on GAF. BookMark this shit.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Awesome. And given how fast Bloober works this may mean we get the game in 2027 already.

Cronos is the game with the penis suit. I mean, it is what it is, and I doubt that makes the game a very attractive buy. I know I was sick of looking at the thing.

Have you seen a little girl around here ... short black hair .. ?

[Darius87]

let's hope they won't add souls like mechanics to this one.

 

[Rocinante618]

hopefully we get a FOV slider this time, SH2 Remake said nope lol, still won't be as bad as Evil Within 1

 

[Bartski]

confident it's gonna be amazing. I hope they get full creative freedom to reinterpret the original, especially all the dialogue

 

[Gonzito]

Awesome. Bloober Team went from being a mediocre developer to a great one. If they keep making great games like Cronos and SH2 Remake I will be there, day 1

 

[killatopak]

My favorite entry. I hope they land this one as well.

If there's one thing I would like them to do, it's to add some references to stuff in the sequel like Sullivan and Claudia. Just some newspaper clippings and journal entries from the church or something.

 

[Cao Cao]

Another game they will destroy. Dark times.

 

[TastyPastry]

release same year as code veronica remake? the world outside might turn to shit but still, RE and SH are back and both great. what a time to be alive.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[deriks]

How big is the chance that this will be a re-skin of SH2 remake?

 

[Lokaum D+]

They ll need remake a lot of sections in this game a 1 to 1 remake would never work for SH1.

 

[Judge Magister]

I need to replay it, i don't remember much.
I just hope they don't mishandle characters like they did with Maria.

 

[Badlucktroll]

matt smith would make a good harry mason

 

[thekillergreece]

After SH2R, Cronos and now SH1R, this Studio may replace Insomniac for me.

Not fair, Insomniac doesn't make horror games.

But, I'm happy to see Bloober Team is having good successes these years.

 

[Clear]

I really hope they go above and beyond on this remake, as its still in many ways the most ambitious game in the franchise, with all its custom camera-based gimmicks, large bosses etc.

Also I have to wonder how the overall odd-vibe of the original will translate if characters are voiced naturally, not the single sentence clip method that while a product of technical limitations of the time came across as sort of David Lynch inspired.
