The hope of fans was recently sparked this past summer with the release ofDead by Daylight’sSilent HillDLC chapter. This DLC allowed for players to survive the realm of the entity as Cheryl Mason and kill survivors as the dreaded Pyramid Head. Many have taken this to meaning thatSilent Hillwill return on Sony’s upcoming console, the PlayStation 5, and while that is somewhat possible, the very idea of a newSilent Hillgame would accomplish a lot in a short time.
Silent Hill, PS5, 2021, and Beyond
There have been manygames announced for the PlayStation 5so far. This includes a variety of horror games including the next installment in theResident Evilseries,Resident Evil: Village. However, there has been no word officially onSilent Hillcoming back. If it were to be announced, it could cause the PlayStation 5 to become the dominating gaming console of 2021.
If a newSilent Hillwere to come to the PlayStation 5, there would be a solid amount of gamers who would purchase the console withSilent Hillin mind. While there have been multiple PC ports ofSilent Hilltitles in the past, the majority of them stay on console. This would mean that a newSilent Hillwould most likely stay aPlayStation 5 exclusive title, giving fans one big reason on top of many others to go with this next-gen console.
With the sheer amount of hype that would be behindSilent Hill’s return, the question still remains on why there has been no hints or official words alluding to its release. The lack of even a teaser during the PlayStation 5 announcement streams could imply that there is nothing, so there really is noSilent Hilltitle coming. However, with the strangeness and uniqueness ofSilent Hills' announcement via its playable trailer, it could be possible that the new game has something planned to try to live up to the announcement of the cancelled title.
If and when the nextSilent Hillis announced, it will most likely come after the PlayStation 5’s release. Whether or not its aplayable trailer likeSilent Hillsis unknown, but its announcement will likely drive up the sales of the PlayStation 5 as soon as it occurs. If a playable trailer were to happen again, its existence itself would likely also drive up the sales of the console with many wanting to discover all of the secrets behind this new and upcoming title.
As many await forSilent Hill’s return, the only thing that many players can do is wait and hope for the franchise’s future. It is however very likely thatDead by Daylightwon’t be the last of the series that fans will see.
