Update: Sam Barlow has clarified through DualShockers’ tweet that the pitch is not for Konami.

The original reporting continues below, and I’m incredibly excited to see what Barlow has up his sleeve.
Original Story: Silent Hill rumors have been floating around a fair bit this year, leaving fans of the series gagging for another installment from Konami. While it might not be solid yet, it does seem as if there are plans in the works as the creator of Silent Hill Shattered Memories has confirmed he’s pitching a follow-up.
Sam Barlow, the writer and designer behind Silent Hill Shattered Memories has revealed that he’s currently pitching a follow-up to that game after apparently having been asked the question in an interview. The fact he’s pitching it obviously means that he can’t share any information about it but can at least tease it.
NB: this is *not* @halfmermaid Project A███████ (also spooky and awesome) it’s the next next game. Forcing your entire network of friends and acquaintances to wishlist P█ is a (free!) downpayment on the SHSM successor, also known as Project Door Peek™

He also notes that what he’s pitching is not his Project A game that’s being developed by his studio, Half Mermaid Productions, but instead, it’s to be the game after that game. He pens the title he’s pitching as a successor, but it’s unclear if he’s pitching the idea to Konami, or whether he has plans to make something with his own studio.
Touching on the rumors surrounding Konami, back in January, the monster designer had teased a new project. Shortly after a reliable leaker revealed that Konami may be working on “at least” two new Silent Hill titles. A few months later, Konami confirmed that the series was still alive, but the rumors aren’t true. And then there was that Twitter blunder that happened in August which was apparently not any indication that a new game was on the way, but there was a new Twitter account that had surfaced.
There is a massive fan base for the Silent Hill IP and over the years we’ve received several installments to that franchise. Now the original four installments by the creators, Team Silent, has been the more praised Silent Hill titles from the entire franchise, but we did receive some other notable works. After Silent Hill 4: The Room released, Konami disbanded Team Silent and offered the popular psychological horror franchise to other western developers. Most of those game didn’t reach the same praise and hype as the original four installments, but as mentioned, there were a few unique takes.
One of those unique takes was Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. It was a retelling of Silent Hill, the original installment that released on the PlayStation. Rather than offering the same mechanics, the mastermind behind the title, Sam Barlow, opted to make it more about fleeing danger and using the Wii motion controller to enhance the gameplay experience. While over ten years old now, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is still on Sam Barlow’s mind.
In fact, Sam went to his personal Twitter account and made note that he has a pitch idea for a spiritual successor to that title. It’s worth noting that its a spiritual successor and not a direct sequel as Konami still retains the IP. Instead, this is similar to something like Obsidian Entertainment’s spiritual successor to Fallout: New Vegas with their release of The Outer Worlds. Outside of making note of the game pitch, we don’t know just when to expect a trailer or marketing materials to be available for this video game.
As for Silent Hill, the IP has been highly beloved, but remains dormant. Konami has yet to bring out a new installment despite the influx of rumors of a new title or remake being developed. It’s not all gloom and doom for Silent Hill as we did receive a digital release of Silent Hill 4: The Room on GOG.
