Sometimes rumors are rumors, but interpretation is a very inexact science. But if we’re any good at it at all, an “unnamed editor” at Konami Digital Entertainment has basically confirmed to Dutch website Gamer NL that a brand new next-generation PS3/XBox 360 Silent Hill title is in production and due to be released this year sometime more than likely.

Disappointingly, details regarding the project are spotty and scattered, as is the want of many game companies, it seems. We do know that that Double Helix Games, the developer that made Silent Hill: Homecoming, is not involved in this project for whatever reason, a falling out perhaps?

However, our comrades in the Netherlands were treated to a short unreleased trailer in which a character is attacked by an apparition while wondering the streets of a creepy, town, which shows some details about the upcoming game in an albeit unreleased form.

It’ll be interesting to see how this story develops.
