The fifth episode of the gruesome Silent Hill series was confirmed today, but is being designed with next generation console hardware in mind. During an interview to be published later this week, chief designer of the game Masashi Tsuboyama admitted that the title is already being planned for next generation machines, although Konami has yet to decide which one.
Asked if there would be a further Silent Hill game after the release of The Room, out next month on PS2, Xbox and PC, Tsuboyama-san first clarified rumours that it would not be called "Shadows", but was happy to confirm that there would be ongoing adventures in the series. "One website said we are creating a fifth [Silent Hill] called Shadows - we don"t know where they got their information from; obviously it"s not Shadows that we are creating, but we are creating the next one.
