It seems that the project is still under development. The teaser trailer is not available. There are only a few storyboard images and bits of conceptual art. Gans spent the majority of the announcement talking about how the game will play. “We decided that we would go back to the best stories,” Gans said during Konami’s Silent Hill Transmission livestream. “The film tells the story of a young guy coming back to Silent Hill, where he has known a great love — and what he’s going to find is a pure nightmare.”

He says that the project plans to give the franchise an innovative twist but that it is important to keep the original spirit of the game. Gans seems to be in agreement, calling the original Silent Hill Games “great artistic achievements.”
