Okay, so I searched up and down to see if a thread was made on this. As far as I can tell.... No. I probably missed something, point me in the direction and I'll merge the thread, but I really tried to find if one existed to no avail.

So this was posted on Twitter:



And quickly people noticed a few things about this tweet.

So the Notepad in the picture says next week. So that may or may not be teasing something soon, but is it a notable tease? Well, it's a notebook tease, but is a notebook noteable? Further down the rabbit hole, the wording and specifically the word "Silent" in it caught people's eyes, and the pencil has a "Pyramid" pointed towards the camera in the shot.

And I just wanted to make a thread to ask Era: So, is Kojima Productions teasing something?

Am I dumb? That isn't Kojima is it? He doesn't look the same but all the responses are acting like it's him.

Well, Kojima himself has been writing something. He has tweeted about it several times since new years.
I LOVE Death Stranding. Can't wait to see what's next!

That's not Kojima.

Also, aren't they doing DLC for DS or something? It's probably that.

It seems like most signs point to his next project being a horror title, no? Silent Hill branding or not, I think Kojima is at his best when he's unshackled by the baggage of an established series so I'd almost be more excited if this wasn't Silent Hills Electric Boogaloo.

It'd be crazy if he could use the money he made on death stranding to take the silent hill ip (or license to it) and make silent hills.

Please, my heart cannot take any more of this.

I don't know if it's related, but IF they are indeed working on a new Silent HIll game, is it possible that Toriyama is involved too given that he's been reported as working on a new horror game for Sony? And Masahiro Ito? This would be a dream come true, holy shit!

Y'know what, fuck it. I'll bite. It's way more fun if I do. It wouldn't surprise me if Konami didn't fund a Silent Hill title but lends the IP to Sony/Kojima Productions. Why not, right? They get paid for basically nothing.

Its clearly teasing something for next week.
Either the PC port or something new, but i dont see why Aki would talk about being so busy and vague on an already announced port.

The pyramid pencil and his "Working on the next project" tweet from a while back having a picture of a desert makes me think whatever this game is takes place in a desert.

Silent Hill would be nice. It would also leave them open to mercenary work like Platinum.

Release date maybe?

Though I agree, it seems more likely they would hype an upcoming announcement for a new project.

Why would he need the IP?
He can go on and make the Silent Hills he was working on and call it something else. Konami could do nothing about it, and I doubt the IP itself would really boost sales significantly, at least not by an amount it's worth buying the IP for.

I think they're teasing something, but focusing on the word "silent" seems like a huge stretch to me. The key part is just the "Next Week" on the notepad and that's about all I'd say.

I voted "it's nothing" but thinking about it the "next week" is definitely something, I just highly doubt it'll be anything Silent Hill related, as sad as I am about the death of Silent Hills, I think the best we can hope for is Kojima making a horror game
