 * The following is a draft for a rumoured upcoming title; until there is official confirmation, information is subject to change or be debunked altogether

Silent Hill: Something is an upcoming episodic horror game and the XX installment of the Silent Hill video game series, developed by Bloober Team and Konami.

Development
In January 2020, insider Ryan Stanford (known by the monikers "Aesthetic Gamer" and "Dusk Golem") reported that Konami had been looking for Silent Hill pitches in 2018, namely for a soft reboot and a Telltale Series-styled spin-off. According to Stanford, Supermassive Games was among the studios who presented a pitch to Konami but was ultimately rejected. In February 2021, the CEO of the Polish developer Bloober Team, Peter Babieno, announced that they had been working on a horror IP with "a very famous gaming publisher" for over a year that he was excited about. That month, Bloober Team began taking job applications for "ranged and melee combat", a mechanic absent from their earlier titles. On February 18, news publication Video Game Chronicle speculated that Bloober Team could be developing a Silent Hill title, but their sources only corroborated an upcoming Silent Hill game from "a prominent Japanese developer."

On June 20, 2021, Konami announced that they had entered a business alliance with Bloober Team with the intention of "creating high-quality content by combining our respective characteristics and strengths." The same day, Video Game Chronicle followed up their original report, claiming their insiders had verified that one of the collaborations between the two companies was in fact Silent Hill-related.
