A listing for a new Silent Hill title has been discovered on the website for The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea’s website, however, it appears to have now been edited to hide the title of the project. The listing was first reported by Gematsu, who revealed that the listing for the game was originally titled Silent Hill: The Short Message. The publisher is listed as Uniana, a company known for publishing other Konami games such as eFootball 2023 in Korea, though no platforms or other details were listed for the mysterious new Silent Hill title. The rating does list the title as a video game release, however.

Earlier this year, alleged concept art of a planned Silent Hill game leaked that were claimed to be attached to a playable teaser project similar to 2014’s P.T., which led to the announcement of Silent Hills. At the time, leaker Dusk Golem claimed that this was titled Project Sakura, and the images were quickly taken offline by Konami, pointing to their legitimacy. Since then, there have been rumors of other projects such as a smaller game published by Annapurna Interactive and a full Silent Hill 2 remake from The Medium and Layers of Fears developer Bloober Team, which some screenshots were rumored to have leaked from last month. It’s not yet known who exactly the developer of The Short Message is.
Given the title of this new game, it seems that maybe this Silent Hill is intended to be the free playable teaser that leaked earlier this year. This would also make sense for Konami to release in October to celebrate Halloween.
While Konami has yet to publicly announce the title, its appearance on the Korean ratings board seems to confirm its existence and implies that its release is imminent, given that ratings for games usually appear very shortly before their release. It’s not yet known where the release of this title could be announced, but it’s possible that Konami might be planning some sort of reveal event in October.
Silent Hill: The Short Message is rumored to be in development.
