Cancellation of Silent Hills

Silent Hills was to be the ninth installment of the Silent Hill franchise and was unveiled to gamers via P.T. (Playable Teaser) which alone was critically acclaimed by both critics and gamers.

Unfortunately, due to Hideo Kojima leaving Konami upon the completion of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, the fate of the game was left uncertain until it was confirmed by Konami that Silent Hills was canceled.

In addition to the cancellation of the game, P.T. was pulled from the PlayStation Store on April 29, 2015. Konami also tried to wash their hands of Silent Hills and tried to delete listings of PS4s with P.T. on it from eBay. To add insult to injury, they later released a Silent Hill pachinko machine instead.

Fans of the franchise started a petition on Change.org to have Konami continue work on the game and as of December 31, 2016, has over 195,750 signatures.

Kojima would move on to develop his own game, Death Stranding starring Norman Reedus and Mads Mikkelsen. While the game received some praise, it also had a very polarizing reception.
