Konami has announced that Silent Hill Origins will be released for the Sony PSP and is currently in development at Climax. The game will tell the story of how the town of Silent Hill became the hellish place that fans of the series are familiar with. Players will take on the role of a truck driver who must escape from Silent Hill and discover the secret to the visions that have plagued him for so long.
A new barricade system, which lets players move objects in the environment, gives players the ability to hinder the progress of enemies that are pursuing them. Fans will also be pleased to hear that he game’s soundtrack will be created by Akira Yamaoka, the man behind the music for the Silent Hill series.
“Silent Hill Origins delivers all the terrifying moments, gruesome enemies and memorable characters and story-telling the series is known for on to a handheld gaming system“, said Hans-Joachim Amann, Head of European Product Management for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “Players can now experience greater freedom with the game’s enhanced combat and barricade systems and also learn how the chilling events of later Silent Hill games were set in motion.”
Silent Hill Origins currently has no firm release date, but it is expected to launch this winter.
