As can't spot them on Twitter, here's the high-res versions of the pictures I posted before.

Assuming the rumours are true and you're not living in a Silent Hill of your own, which upcoming Silent Hill game appeals to you the most?
Silent Hill 5 (mainline soft reboot)
The next mainline entry in the series, this game will reportedly (according to Dusk Golem) be a joint production between multiple developers and will involve series co-creator Masahiro Ito and Sony. Video Game Chronicle previously reported a soft reboot from a "prominent Japanese developer," although VGC and Gematsu disagree on whether or not Hideo Kojima is involved (probably not). Not much is known about the game, but Dusk Golem promises that no one has successfully guessed the story yet and there are many surprises to come. Ito previously stated that he would refuse to work on a new Silent Hill game unless he doesn't have to use the iconic Pyramid Head or can kill him off in the opening scene. I suppose it was only a matter of time before Pyramid Head found himself on the wrong end of the knife.
Sakura: Playable Teaser
Silent Hills: Playable Teaser made quite the splash in 2014, but will lightning strike the same place twice in the Otherworld? Seemingly tied to the leaked photos provided by Dusk Golem, the theme of this playable teaser seems to be cherry blossom trees, a symbol of the ephemerality of life in Japan. VGC reports that it will be a free digital title to drum up hype for the future Silent Hill projects and Masahiro Ito previously expressed an interest in using cherry blossom trees as horror materials back in 2018.
Mystery Bloober Team entry
This one has been in development for quite some time, seemingly going back to the first half of 2020. Bloober Team seems excited, as they have previously described it as a "dream project." It will be the first of their titles to implement combat, with Bloober having hired a programmer for the task as of 2021. Recent rumours suggested that it would be a remake of the series' most acclaimed title Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams. However, Bloober denied it in a recent interview, stating that they would not work on another studio's IP unless they are able to tell a brand new story without being shackled by what came before. Konami also had no Silent Hill remakes in development as of September 2020.
If a true remake is out of the question, perhaps a total reimagining of Silent Hill 2 is still on the table? After all, Silent Hill (1999) received its own on the Nintendo Wii with Silent Hill: Shattered Memories in 2009, a game that took the premise of the original and took it in a different direction.
Episodic Anthology
Lastly, we have an episodic spin-off of the Silent Hill series. Multiple sources report that Supermassive Games (Until Dawn, The Quarry) made a pitch for this game in 2018, but were ultimately turned down. Video Game Chronicle reports that the title was eventually greenlit and publisher Annapurna Interactive might be involved with the project. It is described as an anthology Silent Hill "stories" game. Interestingly, they have published games from Sam Barlow (Silent Hill: Origins, Shattered Memories), who has been planning a spiritual successor to Shattered Memories since 2020.
