Confirmed: Akira Yamaoka Leaves Konami
It is a very sad day indeed for Silent Hill fans. The man who has stuck behind the Silent Hill series and with Konami for 16 long years has left the company. Akira is moving forward with some possible solo projects. But let’s not get all depressed and try to commit suicide but just end up in some town. Akira may have quit the company, but this does not mean he can not be commissioned to work on another Silent Hill game. It’s very common for outside composers to be hired in for a game. Even so, we still feel a bit saddened to hear that no one from the original Silent Hill team will over see newer projects. The Silent Hill series is now in complete hands of non of the original creators. A Silent Hill game won’t be complete without you Akira. Even if you have left the company, don’t leave the series.
