Xbox Boss Denies Silent Hills Rumour

Xbox Boss Denies Silent Hills Rumour

Head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, has denied the rumour that Microsoft were in talks with Konami to purchase Silent Hills.

 

Apparently, Microsoft were hoping to secure the deal in time for E3 and were ready to fork out as much as $1 billion for the rights to the IP.

It was also stated that the game was 80% done and could have been ready for release as early as March 2016.

Unfortunately, any hopes that Silent Hills might have been resurrected have been swiftly dismissed.

I believe the total was rumoured to be over $10 billion. Microsoft isn't exactly low on cash, but that's more than the Silent Hill series has made in 9 games. There's no way it would return that investment even if they just re-released everything - which is the cheapest way to get titles out, and then not by a huge margin.
