Yeah, they said that, but no one's found any evidence or indication that it's true.
Which is why this whole thing just feels like some asshole trolling people and taking advantage of Silent Hill fans' utter desperation to get attention.
Kojima isn't making another Silent Hill game. It's just not gonna happen.
This one is a doozy lol:

Sorry y'all.
After watching that initial trailer, I can safely say this has nothing to do with Kojima.

The Whisperer: A Paranormal Investigation GameBLUE BOX Game StudiosAdventureTHE WHISPERER is a cinematic paranormal investigation game played in First Person...www.youtube.com
This is gameplay from their mobile game. Its delisted now from play store.
Like, maybe you guys are just having fun and am being whooshed by jokes like this, but if anyone honestly and sincerely believes this is in any way related to Kojima they are just setting themselves up for disappointment.
Also, I really don't understand what's with Kojima and the constant absurd theories
This is the dumbest conspiracy theory ever and honestly I would love to know the full truth of this sooner or later.
Like, is this somehow actually a fucking Kojima game/Silent Hill game? (It's not, but holy shit there's a lot of "evidence")
When it's revealed to not be related to Kojima/Silent Hill, I would also love to know how many of these coincidences are completely made up/actual coincidences and how many of these are intentional. Like, is the whole thing completely intentional to fuck with people and lead them all along as marketing for the game among enthusiasts? Was only part of it done on purpose as an omage/joke, or what?
Very interesting and very fun indeed. But I'm also partially convinced that PlanetSmasher got it perfectly right here, the game's marketing staff probably has someone who browses Era or Gaf or gaming Reddit or something.

That tweet sounds like Konami got pissed off and told them to back the fuck off and stop trying to imply shit.
It is either:
Shit, our teases were evident, they Got us, they deciphered our plans, they know we are doing Silent Hill with Kojima, we need to issue a statement denying it.
OR
They are stupid, and will be crucified for it.
They can get sued for falsely utilizing Konami's IP for marketing purposes without permission.
It's not that peculiar when a lot of the evidence points toward this company being a one-man outfit led by an asset flipper. A studio run by one guy is EXACTLY the kind of "team" that would be on Twitter at 1AM.
I don't care how many people are on a team. If you're trying to sell a game and are getting a push by Sony in North America you publish your tweets and information at an appropriate time to get the maximum amount of impressions in said market.
They aren't getting a push by Sony. That's the thing. Sony hasn't pimped their game at all behind a blog post and a youtube video, both of which are things ANY DEVELOPER publishing a game on Playstation hardware can request.
If that were true the blog would be chock full of posts about every game releasing on the platform, and that's not the case.
AFAIK the closest they got to implying a Konami IP was the tweet regarding starts with S and ends with L. If I'm not missing something more explicit, there is no way Konami could win such a case in the US and probably not in any other major market either.

Oh thank God. It's not really one of these without numerology.
My point is...people are acting like this is some big Sony-backed project, and it's not. Sony themselves have never mentioned it, it's never been featured in any of their State of Play events, etc. All of the marketing has happened on Sony channels that are effectively open to anyone publishing a game on the hardware.
It's an indie game that is trying very very very hard to capitalize on Silent Hill fans' desperation to get attention.
Correct. And that denial tweet is meant to make it harder for any legal action to occur unless they're stupid enough to keep pushing.
Why do people think this is Kojima and Konami? That was one of the messiest and open business breakups that have happened in the industry. Why would Kojima agree to revive an IP so Konami can make money? Konami separated him from his team during development of MGS V for 6 months and fucking blocked him from attending an award show his friend was putting together.
I dont see a world where Kojima would ever work on a Konami owned IP, when he can make and be creative as he wants with his own IP.
Maybe I'm wrong and I'll have to eat a whole murder of crows though lol.

The way some people are acting like Sony is supporting this game you'd think it was the closer at a SoP 😂.
Every single "secret Hideo Kojima game" conspiracy theory is an absolutely perfect litmus test for a person's capacity for and application of evidence based critical thinking and reasoning.
Kahraman just means hero/protagonist in Turkish. It's a common word, and a relatively common last name. Hideo Kojima (Japanese name Kojima Hideo 小島 秀夫)'s name Hideo is spelled 秀夫, which are the kanji for "excellent" and "man". The two together aren't used as a noun in Japanese, to my knowledge. I don't think there's anything here beyond bad google translation and coincidences.
I even tested it myself and if you translate "Hideo" from Japanese to Turkish...you just get Hideo.
It doesn't translate from 秀夫 to Kahraman.
I know I shouldn't expect this forum to have that many Turkish people who speak Japanese (like myself) but you'd think that people wouldn't at least make random google translate stuff up or take it without an ocean of salt :P
Seriously.
What I did notice is that if you type Hideo, in romanji, into Google Translate, set it to Japanese, and then translate it to Turkish, "kahraman" comes up, but that is almost 100% some asshole contributing to this fucking meme.
Reddit all hints post has been deleted. Edit: providing backup link:

But I believe all the hints are gathered in the following posts.
Quoting myself, as I don't see one of their previous games mentioned. Going to the steam page of Rewind: Voices Of The Past you can see SneakyWarrior profile (supposedly Hasan Kahraman's Internet alt name).
Even, if I'm still convinced that all of this is fake, and there is no relationship between Abandoned and Silent Hills/Hideo Kojima, this is too funny not to read and follow.

If you believe Blue Box Games is a new studio (or related to Kojima), please explain to me the following:
1. Registered in the Dutch chamber of commerce.
2. They made an unreleased game.
http://rewind-thegame.com/
- Rewind: Voices Of The Past, announced but never released.
Web Page recovered from 2015.
Web Page recovered from 2018.
Steam Greenlight page: Steam Greenlight:⏪ Voices Of The Past (steamcommunity.com)
Said game, even appeared in IndieMaster secction from GamesMaster magazine (July 2015): https://magazinesfromthepast.fandom.com/wiki/Rewind:_Voices_of_the_Past
Why are they doing this? Marketing.

Both. It's Silent Hill and you play as Ben from Full Throttle.

OP
I literally typed it in google and Hideo In Japanese translated to Kahraman in Turkish.
I'm not at all implying google translate is right btw, I'm just telling you what happens when you do it.
As spam musubi said, the spelling of Kojima's actual name, is 秀夫. That does not translate to Kahraman in Turkish.
"Hideo" in English letters is a romanization of a name that has SEVERAL different meanings depending on the kanji assigned to it. The kanji assigned to Kojima's name do not translate to "hero", which means "kahraman" is not an accurate translation of his name.
