Konami Releasing Three (!!!) Silent Hill Games in March

This has nothing at all to do with the company's fiscal year ending that month.

Silent Hill HD Collection, featuring remastered versions of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill: Downpour, the latest sequel in the series, have been delayed over and over and over again. Are these games ever coming out?

If Konami’s to be believed this time around, Silent Hill HD Collection, Silent Hill Downpour, and the Vita-exclusive Silent Hill: Book of Memories (sporting a first for the series: multiplayer) will all be staggered throughout March.

Yep, we’re going from zero recent Silent Hill games to three Silent Hill games back-to-back-to-back, with Silent Hill HD Collection on March 6, Silent Hill Downpour on March 13, and Silent Hill: Book of Memories on March 27.

Why March, you ask? Not coincidentally, Konami’s fiscal year ends on March 31.

How odd.

Trevorisamazingon Jan. 12, 2012 at 11:55 a.m.

Are we still calling Book of Memories a SIlent Hill game?

Because I'm not.

My birthday is in March which is probably the main reason they decided to do this.

Multiplayer in Silent Hill is an interesting idea, but not the way they're doing it.

So pretty much they're trying to take my Mass Effect 3 funds from me. Bastards. And Blizzard better not announce the release for D3 in March too or somebody's getting their shit kicked in

What's that?

Huh? Radio?

What's going on with that radio?

Jeuston Jan. 12, 2012 at 12:08 p.m.

Interesting, I'll have to think about it.

Book of Memories looks stupid

Downpour really hasnt had anything shown for it

HD Collection is cool

Silent Hill used to be one of my fav series but since a Western developer has taken over they have gone downhill.

As much as I like the story in the SH games I cannot stand the gameplay.

ascholzkon Jan. 12, 2012 at 12:14 p.m.

Silent Hill 2 is one of my all time favorite games so yes, SO PUMPED!

I really want Downpour to be good, but I'm a little skeptical..

Curufinweon Jan. 12, 2012 at 12:21 p.m.

I loved the original but never played any of the others. But I've already had the stories for SH 2 and 3 totally spoiled, so I won't be getting this HD Collection.

gone downhill? AWWW I SAW WHAT U DID THERE!!

Winterneton Jan. 12, 2012 at 12:22 p.m.

That's too much Silent Hill for consumption.

Sammo21on Jan. 12, 2012 at 12:23 p.m.

@SASnake: lol I actually didn't even notice I did that until I saw the email notification of your reply. In all seriousness though, I do think that since Silent Hill 4 they have consistently gotten worse with each new iteration.

True, Silent Hill 4 wasent intended to be a Silent HIll game tho, it just turned into one, but Downpour looks like a step in a good direction past Homecoming, but not as good to go past 2.

DeviTiffanyon Jan. 12, 2012 at 12:26 p.m.

I'll probably pick up Silent Hill HD.

Did anything come about them getting the old voice actors back on?

Dig Deeper into Silent Hill: Book of Memories

Instead of being a proper sequel, or even a horror game, this bizarre cash-in on the Silent Hill series is a top-down dungeon crawler populated by monsters taken from other Silent Hill games, including the iconic Pyramid Head.
