Akira Yamaoka Will Return To Silent Hill If Asked
Akira Yamaoka may have left Konami after more than ten years to seek new experiences but he will return to the Silent Hill franchise if asked. Many assumed that because he left Konami he would never be able to work on another one of their games. Which is definitely not true.
“But if the team of Silent Hill asks me to work on the title,”I would like to provide brutal music for them.” he tells Kotaku.
Akira and his new partner Suda 51 are going to bring their talents together at Grasshopper manufacture to bring us that collaborative title with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami but this may not be their only title. Akira also mentions how he wants to eventually do some work for a children’s game and not be solely labeled as a horror game guy. Kuraymi is also mentioned as not even being in development yet Suda 51. So horror gamers, we are left with good news and bad news. Akira will return to Silent Hill if need be, and Kuraymi may not be that mega horror title. Either way Akira, Suda and Shinji are amazing people in the video game industry and are bound to make a fantastic title horror or not.
