The rumor mill is churning, leading many to believe that Konami is working on new Silent Hill games, prompting further questions about a possible remake. Whether the rumors are true or not, series creator Keiichiro Toyama says remaking Silent Loma would be a difficult task.

In an interview with VGC, Toyama said "y'all'd accept to rethink the concept to get in interesting to fans" of today. Comparing information technology to like re-releases like the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake, Toyama continued, "It's not an action game where you can just refine the action as in [Resident Evil]. To bring Silent Hill up to current standards or to polish up the graphics, the fans wouldn't be satisfied. I think it would be harder to remake, because the gameplay every bit a concept is a petty older." Silent Hill did have less of an activity focus than Resident Evil when it was released on PS1 one in 1999, with a greater emphasis on atmosphere instead.

Toyama has no qualms with any major changes this "rethinking" would require: "I absolutely don't have any objection to modifying an original essence to fit the modernistic era which we live in today." To that extent, the most recent slice of Silent Hill content is a set of Pyramid Head and James Sutherland skins added to Expressionless by Daylight for Halloween. Checking the official Silent Loma website merely shows a cheeky joke almost Pyramid Head's height — a reference to Lady Dimetrescu from Resident Evil Village, which launched earlier this twelvemonth.
