Konami has officially announced a full remake of the original Silent Hill, collaborating once again with Bloober Team—the studio behind the critically acclaimed Silent Hill 2 remake—during the recent Konami Showcase 2025. According to VGC's report on the partnership, this revival aims to breathe new life into the fog-shrouded streets of Silent Hill, leveraging Bloober Team's expertise in atmospheric horror. Fans can look forward to modernized graphics, reimagined sound design, and potentially new narrative elements that honor the original's legacy while appealing to today's audiences.
While no release window has been confirmed yet, Konami's official X account hinted at more updates coming later this year, including a teaser trailer and gameplay footage (silenthill\_jp tweet). The decision to entrust Bloober Team with this project underscores Konami's commitment to quality, following the studio's successful revamp of the franchise's second installment. As we await further details, speculation is already rife about potential new puzzles, enhanced combat mechanics, and perhaps even expanded environments that deepen the eerie atmosphere of the original title.
Early reviews for The Alters have started rolling in, and critics are praising this mind-bending narrative adventure for its innovative mechanics and compelling storytelling. IGN's video review highlights the game's clever use of multiple versions of the protagonist to solve puzzles, while the written IGN review awards it an 8/10 for its polished presentation and engaging gameplay loop. Other outlets have echoed this sentiment, with the average score hovering around 8 out of 10, signaling strong industry confidence in 11 bit studios' latest title.
The Alters launches on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on June 13, 2025, and you can preorder now via the official storefronts to secure any launch bonuses. If you've yet to decide, consider diving into the prologue—available for free on Steam—to get a taste of its unique mechanics and atmospheric storytelling. Thanks to a review copy from 11 bit studios, I can confirm that the early sections are both challenging and rewarding, making it a must-try for fans of cerebral puzzles and narrative-driven adventures.
The PC edition of Stellar Blade was released yesterday, and you can download it now by visiting the Stellar Blade PC launch trailer page for a direct link to its Steam store listing.

With over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam within its first 24 hours, Stellar Blade has become the second most popular PlayStation port ever on PC, surpassed only by Helldivers 2—a testament to its compelling gameplay and loyal fanbase. IGN's in-depth article notes that this surge places it ahead of favorites like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn in terms of launch-day engagement, reflecting growing enthusiasm for console-to-PC adaptations. Alongside the base game, a Nikki-themed DLC dropped simultaneously, offering new skins, challenges, and story snippets that expand the already rich universe.
