We sincerely apologize for this," they Tweeted last week. It was never our intention to tease the name as Silent Hill. We do not have any relations with Hideo Kojima. Given the number of Tweets that Blue Box have deleted that relate to Silent Hill in any way, and the multiple statements they've given denying the link to Kojima's games, it seems to me a lot of this was a marketing tactic gone-awry. It's absolutely not, because that would be daft (buy hey, this conspiracy stuff is fun!). Omg, I've also just clocked that the developers' Twitter handle is which could be a reference to BB the baby you carry around in Death Stranding. We know that weird naming stuff isn't beyond Kojima, after he used a fake studio and an anagram of his own name, Joakim, to tease Metal Gear Solid 5. But one piece of "evidence" that could convince me is that Blue Box studio director Hasan Kahraman's surname is Hideo translated into Turkish. There's a good roundup of all the weirdness so far on the aforementioned subreddit, some of the connections are… loose, but interesting nonetheless.Īll of this could be Blue Box trying to capitalise on Silent Hill excitement, which honestly, I think that's about as deep as this goes. Plus, the Blue Box YouTube channel banner is literally a picture of some hills. The devs also mention that their game will feature "snowflakes of blood", which was also said in PT teasers. Blue Box kicked off the whole thing by posting, "Abandoned = (First letter S, Last letter L)", in a Tweet that's now been deleted. And I have to say, the evidence isn't too bad.
