Publisher Konami has launched the official website for the highly anticipated horror title developed by Metal Gear Solid creator and director Hideo Kojima and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy), Silent Hills.
Silent Hills was revealed earlier this year during Sony’s press conference at Gamescom under the codename P.T., which, at the time, was a title headed by 7780s Studio and allowed PlayStation 4 users to “Experience the world’s first interactive teaser.”
At the moment, the website consist of videos, images and, of course, a link to download P.T. on the PlayStation Store, which Sony confirmed earlier this week during its pre-Tokyo Game Show presentation that the interactive teaser had received more than 1 million downloads.

Kojima Productions is also adverting vacancies at its studios based in Japan and the United States on the website, with positions such as senior environment artist, senior concept artist, senior gameplay programmer and senior game designer available. It’s not known whether these positions are required specifically for Silent Hills or another Konami-related title in development, but no doubt more news will be revealed by Kojima Productions in the near future.
Hideo Kojima was present at Sony’s pre-Tokyo Game Show presentation and briefly spoke about P.T., with a video message from Guillermo del Toro discussing how the two met and what they want to achieve with Silent Hills. Additionally, Kojima added an announcement that his upcoming open-world stealth title, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, will have more news revealed at Tokyo Game Show in 2 weeks. More details on that story can be found here.
Developed by Kojima Productions and running on the company’s Fox Engine, Silent Hills has not received an official release date or the consoles that the horror title will feature on — except for PlayStation 4, of course.
