They had a new Silent Hill game in the works, directed by Hideo Kojima (of Metal Gear Solid fame) and Guillermo del Toro in collaboration with Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus. However, according to Forbes, a falling out with Kojima has resulted in cancellation of the new game Silent Hills, despite Konami releasing a playable advertisement of the game. Now, the future of the Silent Hill and the Metal Gear Solid franchises remains uncertain. Konami has delisted itself from the New York Stock Exchange as of April 24, according to Polygon. U.S. regulatory compliance costs the company a minimum of $5 million each year, so the decision to de-list was a cost savings measure.
