Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the official title of its first Silent Hill game for PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360. Entitled Silent Hill: Homecoming, the game will be released end of September this year across Europe.

The sixth installment in the classic video games series, Silent Hill: Homecoming introduces another protagonist to the mythos. The story follows Alex Shepherd, returning to his hometown of Shepherd’s Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his brother. From Shepherd’s Glen to Silent Hill, Alex must face the darkest of horrors in order to find his brother. Struggling with his own grip on reality, Alex must unravel the mystery behind his nightmares, discover the truth behind his brother’s disappearance, and confront the evil lurks in the seemingly empty streets of Silent Hill.

Homecoming is the first Silent Hill title for the new wave of ‘next generation’ consoles, featuring all-new graphics that bring the fear and terror of Silent Hill alive like never before. Alex must survive attacks from the misshapen denizens of the town using an all-new enhanced combat system that provides a wide array of attacks and counters. Along the way, Alex will encounter a variety of weapons to battle these horrific monsters and must also solve deadly puzzles as he uncovers the darkest secrets of Silent Hill.

Silent Hill: Homecoming also features an all-new soundtrack by acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka.

I'm a HUGE Silent Hill fan, and have been since I saw a friend of mine playing Silent Hill for PSX. That being said, I was dissapointed with Origins.

I'm kind of saddened by the fact this that game isn't being made by Team Silent, not to say an American team couldn't do the series justice, but I don't think it will have the same feeling and atmosphere as the other ones.

This will be a gamefly rental.

I shallth owneth it.

I haven't been a huge Silent Hill fan. I played the demo of Silent Hill 4: The Room on the PS2 once. And I got completely turned off the fact how the gameplay was. You would touch a tunnel and he would be taken somewhere else and you touch a mirror and your somewhere else. Rather interesting but weird. At the time I didn't understand much about the series, because I was into Resident Evil.

I'm playing Silent Hill:Origins (thanks to DMeisterJ). And the game is truly amazing and made me turn around and realize what I have been missing from this franchise. I know that the developers of Silent Hill 1, 2, 3, and 4 are not at the helm. But lets see what Collective can do with the franchise.

Collective made a excellent Indiana Jones game, which I enjoyed. They might make Silent Hill 5 something awesome. Only time will tell :)

Yeah, I don't doubt that they might turn SH into something great, lord knows it could use the boost after the movie.

That's one thing that bothers me about 5, everything in the game seems to be recycled from the movie, which was just mediocre.


I don't know, I have hopes, but am also skeptical.

Just don't have your expectations to high bro, it might not be what your looking for, but for me it might be awesome.

Just wait and see some gameplay videos :)

Ya I've never played the series, but was always kinda interested. I think once this hits I will at least check it out.

You should give Silent Hill 3 a spin. Its for the PS2 and its around $15US if not then you should check out Silent Hill 4: The Room for the PS2 or Xbox. That game should be around $20US now.

I love me some Silent Hill.
