Following the critical and commercial success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, fans were eager to see more modern takes on classic entries. Bloober Team answered that call last year by confirming the development of a remake of the original 1999 Silent Hill.
While official details, like the release window, remain under wraps, popular insider Dusk Golem reported that active development dates back to 2022, meaning a significant portion of the game could be made by then. Speculation pointed towards a 2027 release, but we can now confirm that the title is indeed aiming for a launch next year.
First casting details for Bloober Team’s Silent Hill remake
The upcoming remake is currently in production under the casting code name “Project Noise.” Even though the game is scheduled for 2027, keep in mind that production schedules change for various reasons.
This schedule aligns with Konami’s stated strategy to maintain steady annual production for the franchise following Silent Hill f and the recent Silent Hill: Townfall. As series producer Motoi Okamoto pointed out in an interview with Famitsu, the publisher aims to release around one entry per year to maintain a constant buzz around Silent Hill.
As development progresses towards this release window, MP1st can exclusively reveal the first casting names attached to the stars of the upcoming remake: Gabrielle Fritz And Jade Matthew. While we can’t pin down the details of every role, the small cast of the 1999 original Team Silent makes the actresses’ likely roles easy to narrow down.
London-based actress Gabrielle Fritz brings remarkable performance capture and AAA video game experience to the project, with past credits on titles like Battlefield 2042, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and the recent Luna Abyss. Meanwhile, British actress Jade Matthew rounds out the cast, expanding her portfolio into video games after her work on Korean MMORPG Dragon Nest.
The potential roles for each actress are varied, considering the number of OG female game figures such as police officer Cybil Bennett, nurse Lisa Garland, or main antagonist Dahlia Gillespie. Notably, casting details for the iconic male lead, Harry Mason, have yet to surface, leaving the protagonist’s new actor a mystery for now.
Although the cast uses the codename “Project Noise”, the remake itself has long been rumored internally under the moniker “Project G”, part of Bloober Team’s busy production pipeline. Alongside this project, the Polish studio currently has a lot to do with several titles, including the Lazarus DLC for Cronos: The New Dawn and collaborations with other publishers.
Looking ahead, Konami producer Motoi Okamoto confirmed that the publisher is planning a second and third wave of Silent Hill games after its first relaunch campaign. Although most of these future entries remain unreleased, the Silent Hill remake is currently the only title confirmed as part of these upcoming releases.
Beyond Konami’s internal plans, some Silent Hill-related news has also emerged from the series’ original creator. We recently discovered casting calls at Bokeh Game Studio for Keiichiro Toyama’s next project, with the studio holding motion capture auditions for an unannounced horror game.
