In an exciting update for fans of both Bloober Team and KONAMI, the two companies have announced that they will continue their collaboration with the development of a new game based on a KONAMI intellectual property (IP). This partnership will see KONAMI continuing its role as both the publisher and rights holder of the upcoming game, with Bloober Team taking charge of its development. The news has stirred significant anticipation, particularly for fans of both companies’ work in the horror and gaming space.

What We Know So Far

Bloober Team, the Polish developer behind psychological horror games like Layers of Fear, Observer, and The Medium, has long been known for their ability to craft chilling, atmospheric narratives. Their collaboration with KONAMI is particularly noteworthy, as it follows their involvement in Silent Hill, one of the most iconic and beloved horror franchises in gaming history.

While KONAMI has not yet revealed the exact IP the new game will be based on, the fact that Bloober Team is involved strongly suggests it could be linked to one of KONAMI’s most popular horror franchises. Silent Hill remains the most prominent guess, especially following Bloober Team’s past comments and previous hints from the company about their desire to work on a Silent Hill project.

Why This Collaboration Is Significant

This partnership marks an important shift in KONAMI’s approach to game development, as the company has been largely absent from creating new entries in its classic franchises in recent years. KONAMI has instead focused on other business ventures, such as mobile games, pachinko machines, and entertainment-related products. However, in recent years, KONAMI has begun to show renewed interest in reviving its famous game franchises, particularly in the horror genre, where Silent Hill has remained a fan-favorite.

For Bloober Team, this collaboration further solidifies their reputation as a leading force in the psychological horror genre. Their ability to combine innovative gameplay mechanics with gripping, unsettling narratives has made them a standout developer in recent years. With Silent Hill, or any other iconic KONAMI IP, under their belt, this new project could elevate Bloober Team’s standing in the gaming world even further.
