During the event, Konami showcased a three-minute trailer that provided a look at the famously foggy town in 4K. In addition to providing glimpses of Pyramid Head and other notable elements from the original game, the trailer confirmed that Bloober Team, the Polish studio best known for horror games Layers of Fear and The Medium, had been signed to handle development.

It looks like Bloober Team is bearing the brunt of the community calls for more footage, which as the game’s developer is perhaps unfair. In a [URL='https://twitter.com/BlooberTeam/status/1727036554235817992']tweet[/URL] published last week, Bloober directed fans to Konami, the company it said was responsible for Silent Hill’s marketing. “When could we expect to get some news on the Remake, or is that up to Konami?” Twitter / X user @SodaRMT asked. “It's kinda hard to be stuck in the fog for over a year with nothing new, even some screenshots would be nice.” Here’s Bloober’s blunt response: “Konami is the publisher of the game and communication is definitely part of their job.” It appears Bloober has had enough of this sort of thing from fans, so much so that it felt the need to release a [URL='https://twitter.com/BlooberTeam/status/1728881203401687235']statement[/URL] on its social media channels over the weekend that moves to pressure fans that all is well with the game, but also to point out that announcements will come from Konami, not the developer.
