‘Silent Hill: The Short Message’ Earns Over One Million Downloads Since Last Week’s Launch

To no one’s surprise, fans jumped at the chance to return to the series with last week’s release of Silent Hill: The Short Message. The free-to-play game reportedly logged over a million downloads since its launch during the Sony State of Play last Thursday, with Konami taking to X to announce the big news.

Much like the game’s namesake, Konami was short but sweet with their announcement, thanking all those who played the game.

This is certainly welcome news for Konami after the questionable response from fans and critics over last year’s Silent Hill: Ascension, which despite the interesting concept, didn’t quite  endear itself to fans looking for a traditional return of the franchise.

Obviously, the next big test will be the long-awaited and anticipated Silent Hill 2 remake that’s currently being developed by Bloober Team. We did get a glimpse at the combat mechanics last week, but there’s still no release date, however.

Silent Hill: The Short Message is available now via the PlayStation Store, and centres on Anita. Following messages from her friend Maya, Anita finds herself at a crumbling apartment block, infamous for rumors of suicides. Drawn inside, Anita soon finds her sense of reality shattered as she encounters bizarre, otherworldly spaces, haunted by a twisted monster. Maya’s message was clear — “can’t leave til you find it” — but what is it that Anita is really looking for?
