Silent Hill 2 Remake Developer Teams Up with Skybound Entertainment

Layers of Fear and The Medium developer Bloober Team is set to develop a game based on an IP owned by Skybound Entertainment, following a licensing and publishing agreement signed by the two companies.

The game is currently codenamed R and is planned for an official reveal in 2025, according to Bloober’s press release about the partnership.

The press release does not state which of Skybound’s franchises Bloober will create a game for. Skybound is most known for the comic series The Walking Dead, created by Skybound co-founder Robert Kirkman in 2010.

Bloober Team is currently at the helm of Silent Hill 2 Remake, which is yet to announce a release date. Fans have been sent into a frenzy over placeholder dates and a suggestion of an origin story for Pyramid Head, which Konami said was “incorrect information”.

The Walking Dead has had plenty of video game adaptations over the years, but received mixed reception in more recent times. Overkill’s The Walking Dead was pulled from sale just a year after its release in 2018, and Skybound revoked the series license it had granted to developer Starbreeze.

The latest game set in The Walking Dead universe, The Walking Dead: Destinies, was released on 17th November this year. It was published by GameMill Entertainment, the company which also published the critically panned Skull Island: Rise of Kong in October.
