Silent Hill 2 Slot Machine
Facepalm: The cancelation of Silent Hills in 2015 came as a huge disappointment to fans of the long-running horror series. And while Konami has just announced a new Silent Hill game, it comes in the form of a three-sided slot machine.
Back when Hideo Kojima unceremoniously departed Konami, it was suggested the decision was partly due to the company’s shift in focus to mobile and gambling machines—the first post-Kojima Metal Gear Solid project was a pachinko game based on MGS 3: Snake Eater. Pachinko is like a mix between pinball and gambling slot machines, and are very popular in Japan.
Konami Gaming, a subsidiary of Konami, is announcing a new series of video slot cabinets at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas starting October 15, one of which is Silent Hill Escape. Yahoo Finance reports that it comes with a 49-inch 'J' curve display in 4K Ultra HD, which is still unlikely to appease fans of the series.

— Wario64 (@Wario64) 11 October 2019- Oct 14, 2019 Finance, Silent Hill Escape is a “ f or-wager slot experience”. The new Silent Hill slot machine will debut on Konami’s latest cabinet which features a 49-inch 4K curved display.
- Silent Hill 2 pushes the boundaries of horror. Return to the dense fog and frightening darkness of the eerie, haunted town of Silent Hill to face new enemies with a new set of terrifying weapons. Features enhanced weather, gore and visual expressions with a soundtrack presented in dramatic Dolby Surround.
Finance, Silent Hill: Escape is a 'for-wager slot experience' and one of the first to debut on Konami's new video slot cabinet, which features a 49-inch 'J' curve 4K UHD display. I assume it will most likely be like the 2015 Silent Hill pachislot, which used a combination of old footage from Silent Hill 2 and new action footage using that game’s characters. The use of “backed by a rich library of original titles” might indicate that elements will be pulled from across the brand though.
'This cabinet is a striking combination of sleek entertainment, premium packaging, and player comfort, backed by a rich library of original titles,' said Tom Jingoli, executive vice president & chief commercial officer at Konami Gaming. 'Everything, including its shape, screens, betting surface, and available merchandising, has been engineered to maximize both player experience and operational results. This latest cabinet is a first glimpse at great things to come from Konami.'
It's been over seven years since the last full Silent Hill game—Downpour—arrived, though there was also the now-removed PT demo.
Silent Hill 2 Slot Machine Hint
Konami did renew the Silent Hill trademark earlier this year, but it was likely to secure the rights for devices such as this slot machine. Still, there's always the chance we might see another entry in the franchise at some point in the future.
