It's been 26 years since Harry Mason drove to the remote town of Silent Hill with his daughter Cheryl. After a car accident, Cheryl suddenly disappeared. While searching for her, Harry encounters thick fog, nightmarish creatures, and strange figures. Gradually, it becomes clear that Cheryl is somehow connected to a dark cult and a girl named Alessa, and Harry sets out to get to the bottom of it all. If this brings back memories of playing on the PlayStation 1, you're in luck: Konami is teaming up with Bloober Team once again to develop a remake of the horror classic.
