Silent Hills is a cancelled horror game developed by Kojima Productions that was to be published by Konami Digital Entertainment for the PlayStation 4. It was in development from 2012 until its cancellation in 2015. It was to be the eighth main installment in the Silent Hill series, and was to be directed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro.
Series publisher Konami brought Kojima onto the project in September 2012. The game was announced via P.T. (initialism for "playable teaser"), a critically acclaimed game demo released as a free download from the PlayStation Store in August 2014. P.T. revealed the involvement of Del Toro, along with Norman Reedus as the voice and appearance of its protagonist.
The game's development was questioned due to rumors surrounding Kojima's work with the completion of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, and his eventual exit from Konami. In April 2015, Konami announced that the game had been cancelled, a move that was criticized by journalists and fans of the franchise. Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus reunited for the 2019 game Death Stranding.
