Images of what is reportedly a new Silent Hill game were shared online by a reputable insider shortly before they were downloaded due to a copyright claim.
AestheticGamer, formerly known as Dusk Golem, posted four images of what it claimed was a “Silent Hill leak,” adding that although they came from a source that was new to them, they were given “more than enough evidence to believe them. “
Within hours, the photos were removed from Twitter and replaced with a message saying, “This image has been removed in response to a report from the copyright holder.”
The images show a cluttered room, a red corridor with notes covering the wall and a figure standing at the end, and a female face that was partially unpeeled with messages such as “I Hate Myself” and “Minger” exposed under her skin.
One of the images appears to be concept art from October 20, 2020 and signed by Masahiro Ito, the monstrous designer and art director of the original Silent Hill trilogy.
In addition to using the word “minger” in one image, the graffiti on one wall ostensibly paraphrases “he’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy,” a line from Monty Python’s The Life of Brian. Both terms suggest that if this is indeed a new Silent Hill game, it could have British influence.

When sharing the screens, AestheticGamer wrote: “There are many things I do not share so far. This is from a relatively new source for me, but I was given more than enough evidence to believe them. I will also mention the names ‘Anita & Maya’, ‘SMS Messages’ and this is not the only Silent Hill game in development.
“The staff is small from 2020, so maybe this project looks a little different now. But [this is] what I choose to share. I know many will doubt this, but I have a lot of personal evidence to show that this is real, and as always I am still waiting for the Silent Hill game to be unveiled. ”
The images were then removed on Twitter by the “copyright holder” before AestheticGamer’s Twitter account was temporarily locked following a DMCA notice.
In the past, AestheticGamer (formerly Dusk Golem) rightly shared in April 2020 that the eighth Resident Evil game (which will become Village) will be released in 2021, will be first-person again, will see a return of Ethan Winters and will include werewolves.
Although Konami has not yet confirmed whether the images are genuine, WayForward director Tom Hewlett, who previously worked for Konami and was the producer of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, expressed dissatisfaction with the leak on Twitter.
“If there are many people in a studio sending material to a known leak, they are not professional enough to do justice to the game,” Hulett wrote, seemingly referring to the images.
The developer’s Bloober Team said last year that it was working on an existing horror IP address from a “well-known game publisher” that fueled speculation that it could revive Konami’s Silent Hill.
Konami and Bloober Team then signed a “strategic cooperation agreement” a few months later, which will allow the companies to create games together.
