Why not just make a new horror IP, assuming he can still bank on Sony's backing? Surely any publisher is better than Konami from his perspective after what happened. And who cares about the name of the IP anyway~

Maybe he loves Silent Hill? The first 3 games had a daring vision and were superbly executed despite the hardware limitations, they are pure examples of video games as high art, they were never just "horror games" in my opinion until the creative team left after the original trilogy, and I think Kojima understands that and wants to reimagine the IP in a faithful manner, as someone who has always wanted to push the medium further, I think Silent Hill is a perfect fit for him (regardless if we think he's successful at achieving his goals or not).

Moreover, Konami isn't interested in making anymore SH games and they'd probably make more money by selling the IP to SONY or Kojima.
