A well-known leaker with the username Dusk Golem received and shared several images of an alleged development silent Hill game on Thursday. The screens posted on Dusk Golem’s Twitter account have not been active for long. According to the leaker, Konami quickly rushed in to remove these images, although the exact reason for this is unknown for now.
Dusk Golem is a well-established leaker that reveals obvious details about games before studios announce them. For example, that’s what he revealed Monster Hunter Ascension would run on the RE Engine back in August 2020 before Capcom confirmed the details afterwards a September 2020 Nintendo Direct. He noticed that too Resident Evil Village almost had mermaid monsters. So while Dusk Golem seems to have a proven track record, you should definitely take anything he says with a grain of salt. This is a leak after all, and besides, games in development are subject to change. If a game continues to exist, it might not look like it – or it might not come out at all.
On May 12, Dusk Golem tweeted four images of what he claimed were from a silent Hill Game this is currently in development. He said the source was new but the person gave him “more than enough evidence” to believe the pictures were real, but nothing was justified with it my box. He also provided a few details about the project, which appears to include the names “Anita” and “Maya” as well as a reference to text messages. Like every leaker, Dusk Golem posted this – just for the images to be blocked. him then took to Reset Era claiming that it was Konami who sent him the deactivation notice.
my box has reached out to Konami for comment.
When Dusk Golem was emailed for comment, he shared the images my box and gave more information about the communication he had received.
“This has never happened to me with anything else I’ve ever posted about Konami, first time for me,” said Dusk Golem. “I think they just deleted it because it ruins some surprises, especially when people know what this project actually is (sorry I won’t elaborate as it spoils a bit and I think it would be detrimental to be out there for the developers and the players).”
The famous horror series that first emerged in 1999 has now been dormant for a decade, with the last entry being in 2012 Silent Hill: Downpour. The franchise was poised for a comeback on the back of the iconic pt. before it was summarily pulled from the stores. These images if connected silent Hill, are creepy. Two show a hamster-like room littered with boxes and trash, another shows a figure standing in a sticky-note-lined hallway, and another shows a woman’s face pulling away to reveal paper beneath her skin. Dusk Golem said the “shots are a bit dated,” claiming that they’re from a 2020 build and that the project likely “looks a little different now.” You can check them out below.
It’s unclear if the takedown notice Dusk Golem received actually came from Konami. There is a possibility that someone is impersonating the company, what happened last February was someone pretended to be Nintendo to exploit YouTube’s DMCA Politics. Dusk Golem said he checked the notice and was confident it came directly from Konami.
“The only notification I got was from Twitter,” said Dusk Golem. “If it was someone impersonating them, they did their homework quickly. I went through everything I could when I got it myself and everything is accurate.”
