Remember a few months ago when we reported on an apparent Silent Hill concept art leak? It seems more details regarding that game has rose to the surface today. Apparently, it’s codenamed “Sakura” and is a playable concept.
Check out the images shared on ResetEra:
Over on the same ResetEra thread where this was posted, known leaker Dusk Golem shared the following statement:
I said this in the other thread, I’ll say it here.
There’s an additional Silent Hill leak that’s not related to SH2R, but to the Sakura teaser that seems like it’s about to get spread. Already saw some in possession of it, and was the thing I was hoping wouldn’t get leaked and kinda’ confirms what I suspected was leaked.
My suggestion if you want to avoid spoilers is not to look too deeply at it, the leak includes an entire story transcript of Sakura that spoils the whole thing (in Japanese, but still). I actually quite like the story of Sakura, and would recommend not to spoil it for yourself if interested in playing it.
I know for many people there’s the curiously aspect, many currently don’t believe this leak is real, but it is, & I think having the story of that spoiled sucks, & recommend avoiding it if you’re at all interested in playing the free teaser in the future.
Currently what’s in the OP at the time of writing is just a miniscule version of stuff, just a small piece, there’s… more to this, but it’s been privately circulating this morning, and if it gets fully out, know it contains full story spoilers for Sakura, which I think sucks is getting out there. You’ll see stuff I shared before, then a bunch of early stuff I didn’t. It doesn’t include newer stuff thankfully, but this if it does fully get out there does include huge spoilers for this, in the text especially (even if in Japanese). I guess to see what those in possession decide to share publicly, but I’ll give that warning as I think many will prefer to experience it.
It seems Sony is still involved with this project, as it’s mentioned that it’s being developed for the PS5. No word on whether this concept actually came to fruition, or how it’s part of the entire Silent Hill universe.
Same as with any other leak, none of this has been confirmed by Konami, so take it with a grain of salt for now. However, with Konami promising an announcement for a “belove series” at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, and with this leak, don’t be surprised to see a new Silent Hill game announced at the show.
